★★★ ½
Arnold Lobel – most famous for his Frog and Toad series – has also written a series of fables centered around lively animals, whimsical moments and crazy situations.
For the most part, I really enjoyed it.
There’s only 48 pages but wow – he certainly crammed a LOT of content in there.
Twenty stories and plenty of full-color illustrations really make this book memorable.
I loved all of the animals – from crocodiles to ducks to baboons to elephants – so much variety!
The stories were fairly good. I do wish there was more in terms of content – so many of them were so short that I was just left wishing for more…but I suppose that’s a good thing in the end!

I loved Arnold Lobel’s ‘Frog and Toad’ books as a kid, but I’ve never even heard of this one. Since I’m too old for it now my I’ll have a nephew or niece to read it to someday (and other picture books I missed out on when they were age-appropriate.) 🙂
