Synopsis
Even though animals don't normally wear glasses, cook, or read, if you use your imagination you can see them doing these and even more fantastic things.

Humorous text describing what animals can't do matched with pictures illustrating what might happen if they tired. For example: "Moose don't go bowling" is paired with an illustration of a moose whose bowling ball goes crashing through a window.

Publisher's Note
The author of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie teams up with Sesame Street illustrator Joe Mathieu to provide a hilarious sequel to their bestselling Dogs Don't Wear Sneakers. This playful menagerie will have young readers in stitches with pole-vaulting pandas and hang-gliding horses--a wonderful array of illustrations showing animals doing the zaniest things imaginable! Full color.

Industry Reviews
PreS-Gr 1 The author of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie (HarperCollins, 1985) is back with a hilarious imagination stretcher. The rhymed text introduces an assortment of preposterous things that animals don't do. ``Llamas don't shop,'' ``giraffes don't drive cars,'' and ``reindeer don't square dance.'' The vibrant acrylic and pencil illustrations abound with humor. Fully dressed animals with exaggerated expressions expand the text into the realm of the ridiculous that children love. ``Zebras don't cook and you won't see a kangaroo reading a book'' portrays a zebra in a messy kitchen covered with red sauce and a frowning kangaroo reading an upside-down cookbook. The brief text and lively pictures make this a sure hit with the story hour set. The ending, ``Now just close your eyes and draw with your mind'' can easily lead into an art or creative-writing activity. Janet M. Bair, Trumbull Library, CT
