Join author-illustrator Colter Jackson on a journey of animals on land, in the air, and at sea that’s sure to entertain and educate young readers. From sloths and elephants to whales and flamingos, come learn about the humorous, surprising, and joyful collective nouns that describe our favorite groups of animals.
A Sleuth of Bears features rhyming text and inviting watercolor illustrations that explore the many ways animals are busy all day, including a creep of tortoises commuting to work, a congregation of gators singing in a chorus, a colony of chinchillas sailing the sea, and a dazzle of zebras acting on stage. For animal-loving kids and eager language learners, this makes a beautiful gift that will be enjoyed again and again.
