Each book is shaped like its title animal--and each brightly colored animal shape has a real tail made of bendable material that's covered with soft cloth. The tail can bend into a hook, so that the book can be hung from a crib rail, or high-chair edge, or any other firm platform. The pages--all color illustrated from edge to edge--are constructed of extra heavy cardboard that withstands rough treatment from tiny hands. The text is presented on a level that preschoolers will understand and enjoy. The elephant appears to have a tail at both ends. Kids learn many more facts about these huge and fascinating animals.

An offbeat and winning mix of earthiness and enchantment."—Kirkus Reviews"This is a strange, magical book. Base’s lush paintings ground the fanciful story in its realistic rural setting. At the same time, the landscapes are suffused with a golden glow that casts a soporific charm over the whole book. Interesting visual details abound, from the mouse’s thimble helmet to the prophetic circus posters on the walls. A great book to enjoy one-on-one."—School Library Journal"Graeme Base has done it again. His beautifully detailed paintings are such an important part of this story."—Library Media Connection
