A Very Strange Creature

by Ronda Armitage and illustrated by Layn Marlow. Orchard Books, Hardback, 10.99

When the animals find a strange creature in a basket in the jungle, they are very puzzled. It has no tail for swinging, no trunk for washing, no fur for keeping warm. But it can wail - and smile.

This is a feel-good story with a pleasing ending that will amuse and entertain even the very youngest strange creatures.
