Synopsis

A school of whales, a flock of geese, a pod of dolphins: these are some of the animal group names we have grown up with. But have you heard of a congregation of crocodiles, a bouquet of pheasants or a parliament of owls? Then turn the pages of this book to discover an illustrated collection of lesser-known and sometimes more fanciful ones...

Media Reviews
For children (and all teachers of literacy and/art) there were two beautifully produced books about words, images and colours which defy description. A filth of starlings and A drove of bullocks (both published by PatrickGeorge) are well worth seeking out. They could inspire magical language or art work with youngsters as well as being absorbing to read alone or better still alongside a friend to share thoughts about each page --UK Literary Association Newsletter There is a wonderful, uninhibited, colourful approach to these compilations of collective nouns. Full of charm and wit, the lively pictures are fun for all the family and immensely stimulating for young artists. The text is informative and accessible - some of the group names are very well known, but I'm certain you will enjoy the more fanciful ones.
