"With pleasant rhyming text, Hedlund teaches children about collective nouns for wild animals. “A parliament of owls hoots in the night. / A pandemonium of parrots begins to take flight.” Appealing watercolor-and-pencil illustrations using textured backgrounds are warm and inviting."
Kirkus
“Vocabulary-rich text (“scuttles”, “pandemonium”, “plucks” “vibrant”, “ambushes”, “scours”); quality illustrations; and an environmental message, should me [this a] popular choice inside and outside the classroom.”
School Library Journal
“Each of the animal groups–a troop of monkeys, a colony of bats–comes to life and invites young readers to enjoy interactive play while reinforcing the vocabulary words on each page.”
