We wrote this for the Guardian Children’s Books Family Reviews 

  
We received this book just as Freya was learning the collective nouns for different animals at pre-school so was very timely. Aware of common terms such as swarm of bees & litter of kittens we had fun discovering some more obscure ones such as mischief of mice & ostentaion of peacocks.

The highlight of the book for us however was the striking illustrations. We loved how some of the animals were a mixture of drawing & collage. My favourite spread was the flock of sheep with patterned wool for bodies with the odd bit of unravelled yarn. We were so inspired by the pictures the children created their own groups of animals.

An interesting,stylish & inspiring book that captivated us all.
