Most groups of wildlife can be described as a flock, herd, or shoal—but where is the fun in ending there? —from the Introduction

Whether you're an animal lover or a grammar geek, illustrator Matt Sewell has the perfect menagerie of beasts (and beast-related terms) for your reading pleasure.

Along with fifty-five gorgeous color illustrations, Sewell presents the unexpected collective nouns used to describe groups of animals on land, in the air, and in the water. Discover the secret behind a "sleuth of bears," keep your eyes open for a "watch of nightingales," and learn something new about a "school of whales."

Illustrated in inimitable watercolor, this book makes a great gift for nature and art lovers everywhere.
