"Structured as a guessing game competition, and told through . . . persona poems, the book celebrates animals' standout qualities, from the biggest (blue whale) to the smallest (shrew), with . . . [common] creatures (speedy cheetahs, long-necked giraffes) plus some less common animals . . . (long-lived tortoises, deep-dwelling snailfish and more). Each . . . persona poem is told from the point of view of a different animal and invites readers to guess who's the fastest flyer, strongest biter, best artist--even the smelliest! The . . . spirited poems are followed by a page turn that shows readers if their guess was correct and offers non-fiction information about each critter"--Provided by publisher.
