The poem is an excellent vehicle for communicating attributes of lesser known animals, and allows young and old to learn about these animals in an entertaining environment. The illustrations by M.T. Ross are informative and interesting, and can be used to encourage further learning (especially through observation and study of the pictures). Children can read along with the narrator by following the poem words on the screen.
