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, or tried to argue with a conspiracy of lemurs? Nic LaRue's illustrated wordplay 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. A perfect gift for adults or precocious children.
