A mischief of mice! A flamboyance of flamingoes!! Collective nouns for animals are so funny and fascinating, and Anna Wright's "A Tower of Giraffes" (2015) has all of the best ones for you and your kids to pore over. ๐๐๐ Sometimes you want a great narrative for storytime, but other times there's great appeal in a beautiful picture book full of interesting information that you can linger over together. "A Tower of Giraffes" is wonderful because it is not overlong, but is still packed with interesting tidbits about all of the animals shared, along with their unique collective nouns. And the collage illustrations are amazing! The textures jump right off the page as though you could feel them, and the funny little details (sheep in knit sweaters) are wonderful. ๐๐๐ง โซ โซ โซ #noodlenutskidsbooks #atowerofgiraffes #annawright #annawrightillustration #authorillustrator #authorandillustrator #collectivenouns #flamboyanceofflamingos #amischiefofmice #towerofgiraffes #ostentationofpeacocks #collectivenounsforanimals #animalgroups #animalsingroups #nonfiction #nonfictionforkids #nonfictionforchildren #bookish #bookishlife #bibliophile #booklove #booksforkids #beautifulbooks #childrensbookillustration #learningtogether #readingtogether #kidsbookillustration #picturebookillustration #littlebookworm #growingreaders https://www.instagram.com/p/B1j1AC1H-re/?igshid=1pnnxh22zileb
