      About This Book

      "In seven illustrated stories . . . this Caldecott Honor artist introduces an array of lively anthropomorphized animals in amusing predicaments."--Publishers Weekly

      Rats can't dance, right?
       
      Wrong. Here are seven silly stories about some very unusual creatures. Meet a sheep who can't read (but thinks he can), an owl who outwits a brontosaurus, and a goose who thinks her wolf neighbors are canaries.
       
      "Those just beginning to read chapter books should find that this is just the thing to tickle their funnybones."—School Library Journal
