Julia Eccleshare's comment:
Shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize 2011.
A Lovereading4kids 'Great Read' you may have missed 2011 selection.
From a dog being a doctor to an elephant wanting trousers, animals doing extraordinary things make this a wonderful collection of unusual stories. Terry Jones takes a kindly look – and a positive one – at all kinds of animal antics and Michael Foreman illustrates the whole collection perfectly capturing the jokes about the animals while retaining their dignity.
