Toddler-PreS—A playful romp through the animal kingdom and the various terms used to describe family groups. Riggs's rhyming couplets are light and easy to read ("A flock of geese flies to nest/A colony of ants works without rest.") and are well paired with Dogi's illustrations, which were created with paint by airbrush and then by hand. The spread on the troop of monkeys is particularly spirited.
