The zebra will get to tell you about all the black-and-white animals in the world. The mole knows everything there is to know about the daddy long-legs. The southern cassowa—yes, fox? What is it?

Yes, you'll get to talk about how delicious they are.   Anyway, we're giving you twenty presentations from another twenty of us, but there's a lot more crammed in. Check it all out!   'The dread (or excitement) of a class presentation isn’t exclusive to young humans, as evidenced in this humorous all-dialogue collection ... Irreverent text nails the mood of a classroom discussion in free fall … to the comedic chaos.'—Publishers Weekly (starred)"
