I have a confession to make. I am a huge nerd. For multiple reasons, one of them being that I have an until-just-now secret fascination with knowing the proper terms used to describe groups of animals. That is why A Paddling of Ducks by Marjorie Blain Parker and Joseph Kelly is the perfect book for me, and possibly your curious little one. Told from A to Z, and morning to night, it lists the names of animal groups like: a bask of crocodiles, a party of jays, a crash of rhinos, and a swarm of yellow jackets! And the illustrations are not to be missed! They lavishly depict our furry, feathered, scaly, or insect friends doing things they don’t normally do like: an anteater typing on a laptop, quail driving scooters, toads knitting, and wolves playing chess! This book is a fantastic tool to reinforce alphabet skills, and knowing what different animals do and don’t do. See this book listed in our catalog
