Flocks, Herds, Litters & Schools

By Jim McMullan

What do you call a group of giraffes? Or how about lions? Or zebras? This book is all about the names we give to animals in groups. Some groups have only one name, but others have two or three, or more. Some sound very familiar, like a herd, or a flock, while others require a little more investigation. A murder of crows? A parcel of penguins? If you like animals, then you ve probably wondered where these group names come from. Author Jim McMullan tries his very best to answer all of these questions, and asks some of his own, in this fun and interactive look at our animal kingdom friends.
