The Mole Sisters and the Cool Breeze

(3) PS Mole Sisters series. "I'm not a baby," says a butterfly, "I'm a...butterfly"; "I'm not a butterfly," says a giraffe, "I'm a...giraffe." By book's end, the butterfly, the giraffe, a baby, and several other animals and objects enjoy a newspaper-boat ride. The book makes no sense: why would a butterfly (etc.) need to tell us that it isn't a baby (etc.)? Only the painstaking colored-pencil images recommend this confounding offering.
