From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 1?The author of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie (HarperCollins, 1985) is back with a hilarious imagination stretcher. The rhymed text introduces an assortment of preposterous things that animals don't do. "Llamas don't shop," "giraffes don't drive cars," and "reindeer don't square dance." The vibrant acrylic and pencil illustrations abound with humor. Fully dressed animals with exaggerated expressions expand the text into the realm of the ridiculous that children love. "Zebras don't cook and you won't see a kangaroo reading a book" portrays a zebra in a messy kitchen covered with red sauce and a frowning kangaroo reading an upside-down cookbook. The brief text and lively pictures make this a sure hit with the story hour set. The ending, "Now just close your eyes and draw with your mind" can easily lead into an art or creative-writing activity.?Janet M. Bair, Trumbull Library, CT
