Just a fun, brightly-illustrated book about an animal with the antlers of a reindeer, the spines of a porcupine, the teeth of a crocodile, and so on. ( )

A fun book with close-up details of various animals. Could be read as a series of riddles. Ending is odd, but worth it for the rest of the book. ( )
