I felt like this book was a perfect blend of informational and fictional elements. Children can learn how or why animals have the names they do and also they are given an example of empathy and friendship as the creature figures out what his name is. Many parts of this story made me and my daughter laugh and several parts made us have "ah-ha" moments. (Moments where we learned something)
