Review by School Library Journal Review

PreS-K--This vibrant board book in the "First West Coast Books" series introduces children to the fascinating collective nouns for groups of animals on the West Coast. The highlight is Vickers's stunning printwork, which captivates children with sharp forms, bright colors, and imaginative lines. Educators as well as caregivers will also enjoy learning new collective nouns. For example, "A den of bears snuggles in a log. A frog chorus croaks in a bog. A rave of ravens squawks in flight. A pack of wolves howls at night." Children will come away enamored of the animals, and just a little more interested in evocative language. VERDICT This beautifully illustrated book deserves a place on every shelf.
