Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"In seven illustrated stories . . . this Caldecott Honor artist introduces an array of lively anthropomorphized animals in amusing predicaments."-- Publishers Weekly
Rats can't dance, right?
Wrong. Here are seven silly stories about some very unusual creatures. Meet a sheep who can't read (but thinks he can), an owl who outwits a brontosaurus, and a goose who thinks her wolf neighbors are canaries.
"Those just beginning to read chapter books should find that this is just the thing to tickle their funnybones."-- School Library Journal
Reprint. Originally published: New York : Dial Books for Young Readers, 1991.
Seven stories deal with various animals, including a frog with magnificent legs, a hungry brontosaurus, a mouse who gets married, and two dogs who send for a cat to get the rats off their roof.
