When Animals Get Together: Collective Nouns for Community and Solidarity

You may have seen a murder of crows congregate in the trees by the river, learned something from a school of fish, or heard the wise hooting of a parliament of owls at night. But have you ever sensed a skulk of foxes slinking past, admired a labor of moles, marveled at a parade of elephants, or tried to argue with a conspiracy of lemurs? Nic LaRue, creator of The Heart Tarot, brings us illustrated wordplay that is as whimsical as it is serious, including fascinating facts about each group of animals and their many different ways of working and being together with friends, family, and peers. 

A perfect gift for adults or precocious children—anyone who needs a dose of whimsy, inspiration, and community.
