The lion is known throughout the kingdom as the "king of the beasts". The great white shark is the fiercest creature of the seas. And the howl of the timber wolf scares the heart of the cute woodland creatures. But even they have feelings. What can they do? Be vegetarians? Blend it? Or accept who they are?
This is a fun, laugh out loud book from the writer of Creepy Carrots and Buffalo Wings, with a wonderful but somewhat creepy message of being yourself. It reminds of the shark support group in Finding Nemo. ( "Fish are friends, not food.")I especially love the very surprising end (sorry all you cute and fuzzy creatures) and the illustrations by Dan Santat ( including the very cool cover!)
