Summary: Strikingly humorous!
Comment: When I saw this book in the bookstore, I knew it would be good. Some of the things I didn't get at first, but my parents told me. When I reached that point, I found the humor in each one.
"On a bump beside a road
Sits a lowly Potatoad,
Obviously unaware
Of its own existence there."
This is a great read for all ages, despite complicated and hard-to-understand animals like the Stormy Petrelephant and the Cardinalbacore. I strongly suggest you should read this book.

Summary: A Classic in the Making
Comment: This is a book that I delight in reading over and over - something I can't say for most books. The rhymes are fun and imaginative and flow naturally. The vocabulary used is adult and lends depth to the images. The illustrations are fascinating and relaxing with their dense patterns, quiet colors, and wide vistas. My daughter, who is six, loves the book and I imagine she will love it for many years. Scranimals is a classic. It will definitely get passed down to future generations of our family.

Summary: I bet you never imagined any animals like the scranimals
Comment: Scranimal Island, we are told, does not appear on most maps, which explains why the strange creatures found with these pages are the sorts never seen before by human eyes. I was expecting to find creatures in the tradition of the chimera, but actually there are only a few examples of similar hybrids, such as the Ostricheetah, the Parotters, and the Stormy Petrelephant. But most of what you will find on Scranimal Island are like the Avocadodo, "a fruit and a fowl inexplicably linked." A few of these might be something you could come up with if you thought long and hard enough about such things on a rainy day, such as the Potatoad, the Orangutangerine, or the Porcupineapple. But it really takes somebody with a wicked sense of imagination to come up with Camelberta Peaches, Spinachickens, or my personal favorite, the Bananaconda. "Scranimals" are the creation of Jack Prelutsky, apparently the poet laureate of the elementary school set, and two-time Caledcott Honor artist Peter Sis. The back cover of this charming little book shows the roots of each of the Scranimals so young readers know how you cross a lion with brocholli and get a brocholion. Once they have finished reading this book, your kids can probably come up with some new Scranimals to join the merry menagerie.
