What is A Very Strange Creature about?

Monkey discovers a very strange creature in the jungle and cannot work out what it is. He asks the other animals for help, but each one looks for the features it knows best: a tail for swinging, a trunk for washing, a long neck for reaching high leaves or webbed feet for swimming. As the animals puzzle over their mysterious visitor, young readers may spot the answer before they do in this warm, funny story about welcoming a new baby.
