About The Book
take on ABC
It's lots of fun and really odd,
as you will quickly see
For they're no "leaping lizards" here
No "bears that bounce a ball"
In fact, these zany critters have
never been seen at all!
So turn the page and cast a gaze
on this menagerie,
but don't forget the beasts within
were all made up by me!
-- Tiny DiTerlooney
