Meet the animals roaming the Blue Ridge Mountains. 

With a rhyme from an old poem from Olive A. Wadsworth, Gardner gives us collective nouns for each animal and Coleman really delivers on the illustrations. I’m not sure the rhyme holds up in 2021. If this were a board book, I would give it a higher rating.
