An embarrassment of pandas, a galaxy of starfish, a shiver of sharks... these are all collective nouns used to describe their groups. Woop Studios, acclaimed for their work on the Harry Potter movies, has illustrated these quirky phrases, creating a series of extraordinarily beautiful 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 gorgeous, whimsical art and clever wordplay make it perfect for design-savvy parents and inspired gift givers. Longer than the standard picture book, with high design and production values, this is a volume readers will want on their coffee tables in addition to their child's bookshelf.

A perfect present for young children age 2+

These are combined with Flash Cards from Woop Studios. The flash cards are great for teaching letters in an innovative way that will push your child's linguistic boundaries and the book will help when they get older and more curious about the things in the cards.

Something a bit different. Some beautiful illustrations and really interesting facts about the animals within. Would really recommend it. The 'olde worlde' binding is also lovely.

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.
