(4) K-3 Animals whose names evoke more than one type of creature are presented in literal representations. Thus, a catfish is depicted with a feline's face and a fish's tail, while a deer mouse has a rodent's body with deer head and antlers. Each average-quality painting is accompanied by brief, fanciful rhyming text. The words and art have a perfunctory quality but may spark kids to create their own imaginary creatures.
