I Saw a Bullfrog

Rhyming text and illustrations reveal eleven animals with compound names, such as a catfish, an elephant seal, and a dragonfly, as they would look if they were half one creature and half another.

ws what a bullfrog looks like . . . and a catfish. Don’t they? What if these creatures looked just like their names–half one animal and half another? Here’s an imaginary menagerie–from the cowbird to the zebra fish–richly illustrated in full color and with stunning detail. Each animal is introduced by a poem that speculates about what such a curiously named creature might be like. Also included is a glossary of facts about the real animals that inspired the author to create the imaginary ones.
