An Ambush of Tigers: A Wild Gathering of Collective Nouns by Betsy Rosenthal
Have you ever heard of a
prickle of porcupines? Or a tower of giraffes? What about a parcel of
penguins? This fun-filled romp through the animal kingdom introduces
collective nouns for animals through wordplay. Clever rhymes and
humorous illustrations bring these collective nouns to life in funny
ways, making it easy to remember which terms and animals go together. A
glossary in the back matter offers further explanation of words used as
collective nouns, such as sleuth meaning "detective."
