Compilations of Animal, Bird, and Aquatic Animals Group Names

A Drove of Bullocks and A Filth of Starlings
by PatrickGeorge

Did you know that a group of zebra is called a “dazzle”?  Or that a group of gnus is called an “implausibility”?  Sure, you probably knew that a group of ravens was called a “storytelling,” but what about a “fever” of stingrays?  Both of these books contain interesting names of animal groups with even more interesting silhouetted interpretations.  You’ll never look at a “litter” of kittens or a “pod” of dolphins the same way ever again.

I think these books are fascinating!  With only a short paragraph of information about each animal group, the books are dominated by the artwork.  PatrickGeorge has taken liberties with the English language and had a lot of fun displaying these animal groups.  Whether it’s a hidden army of caterpillars in camouflage or an assemble-at-home kit of pigeons, kids will be entertained and educated in these two fabulous books.
