A truly one-of-a-kind book.

What animal is made up of three billiard balls, five feather dusters and dinosaur feet?... An ostrich, of course! In this book, young readers are asked to guess the animal using a list of unexpected bits and pieces as clues. The concept of this book is inspired by the ways old natural histories explained and illustrated exotic animals. Little-known animals were described as a hodgepodge of parts taken from familiar creatures and vegetation. Beavers, for example, were described as being composed of a flounder, an otter, goose feet, squirrel paws and a rabbit's front teeth. Tricky, right? Well, not to worry! Opening the gatefold will reveal the animal—and lots of cool facts about it! Are you ready for your first Beastly Puzzle?
