An embarrassment of pandas, a galaxy of starfish, a shiver of sharks...these are all collective nouns - terms used to describe a group. Woop Studios has illustrated these quirky phrases, creating a series of truly stunning art that has been collected here for the first time. The colourful introduction to animals and the alphabet is accessible for young children, while the whimsical art and clever word play make it perfect for design-savvy parents and hip gift givers. Longer than the standard picture book, with high design and production values, this is the kind of picture book readers will want on their coffee tables in addition to their child's book shelf.

I bought this book as a gift for my godson, I was tired of seeing the proliferation of poorly written and poorly illustrated children's books out there and saw this reviewed in a paper. Though it's not a story book, it's illustrations and facts still captivate the attention of a 6 and 3 year old.
They love the illustrations and it educates them too, I test them on the collective nouns whenever I visit and I have to admit they have caught me out once or twice (and I have a copy too!). Our favourites are 'A Pandemonium of Parrots' and 'A Kaleidoscope of Butterflies'.
it's also nice that it's a hardback, I have noticed the boys treat it will much more care than their other books, I think because of that, or they just like it more! Or it may be the Harry Potter link - it's from the same graphic designers.

You will love this book - I've ordered lots as Christmas presents. The pictures are stunning - and the copy that goes with them informative and fun. Everyone from 3 to 100 will love it. Don't hesitate. And if you can, visit Woop and buy one of the prints. Future classics.

Myself and my son (7) absolutely love this book and it has joined the bookshelves with Patrick George's superb Filth of Starlings and Drove of Bollocks. It is a beautiful present to someone or to self and has really lovely illustrations. For me, it doesn't have the quirkiness of the Patrick George's mentioned above (which are really beyond 5 star in my humble opinion) but still, it is a little gem of a book. Me and son might now know it off-by-heart but we still take it down from the shelf regularly and have a giggle at those wonderful collective nouns.
