Summary

Summary

"Hello, I'm the earthworm, and today I'm giving my talk about the anaconda."

 

Who needs another book by humans? All they do is make us animals super boring. They only look at things through their own eyes. Every, single, time. Human after human. Kid after kid. Class after class. YAWN!

 

This is a book of oral presentations given by us animals, for us animals, and about us animals. The cleaner fish will talk about his friend the shark and his sharp teeth. 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 geese. Huh? 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)

Author Bio: Bibi Dumon Tak

Bibi Dumon Tak is an author living in the Netherlands who writes nonfiction, or as she calls it: the truth in stories. She has won the Gouden Griffel, the highest honor for children’s books in the Netherlands, as well as the Theo Thijssen Prize, the highest honor for authors. Two of her books, Soldier Bear and Mikis and the Donkey, have won the Mildred L. Batchelder Award. Most of her stories are about animals, and all those stories are true. They are about cows that have escaped from slaughter; about animals that help people in times of war; about birds, arctic animals, uncuddly animals, cloven-hoofed animals, city animals. She has no preferences, as long as it can crawl, fly, swim, or run and as long as it has fur, scales, spines, or feathers. And as long as they aren’t people.
