Peculiar Zoo

By Barry Louis Polisar and David Clark

Written entirely in verse, Peculiar Zoo is filled with intriguing facts about an extraordinary array of uncommon animals from Dik-Diks to Zebus. Young readers will discover the Numbat, who has more teeth than any other animal, but swallows his food whole; the Proboscis Monkey with its long nose that it must move out of the way in order to eat; and the Naked Mole Rat, who is pictured stretched out on a divan, shielding herself with feathers. Featured in Ranger Rick Nature Magazine in a special two page spread, this bestiary goes far beyond “A is for Ant and B is for Bear” and ventures into a delightful world of truly exotic and unusual animals. Barry’s witty and thought provoking poems were featured on Barbara Bush’s national radio show on ABC, Mrs. Bush’s Story Time and introduce children to some of the oddest creatures in the animal kingdom–including many rare and endangered species.
