Fashion on the Animal street



Author: Ponder Goembel


I havent heard of this famous 'Animal fair'. So I was curious to know the tale. This book has the traditional folk song and some more. The original song has 8 lines. This adaptation has many more with interesting characters like balloon pumping seals, kangaroos rattling spoons, toucans play the audience while chimps trapeze. If these are the main characters, there are the silent raccoon ballerina and the monk who is seen but not heard.
The illustrations are neat, no overcrowding. You can use the pictures to count animals of a kind. The girl, boy animals are amusing. The kids can easily make stories of their own inspired by the acessories on the animals.
The animals come with stylish hats. The climax involves a Tusker.
An Easter treat for those who find the eager bunnies.
