A Gaggle of Geese

Flora N. Fauna, that spunky grandmother, loves animals. In this book, she guides readers to discover the names for groups of animals. Gaggle, prickle, smack, leap, and cyclone are all names for groups of animals; but what type of animal goes with each one? While she runs, scuba dives, and paddle boards, Flora N. Fauna seeks out animals throughout the world and she shows that older women can be adventurous, knowledgeable, and fun. The book challenges readers by first showing an animal's habitat in beautifully illustrated watercolors along with its group name ("A gaggle of..."). The animals are shown only in silhouette. The following page reveals the complete scene and the group name is revealed ("A gaggle of ... geese").
