The Minnow picked this out in the library the other day. The crazy creatures are fun, especially the elephant-cat. I had to stop after a bit and ask her how she feels about "capturing" animals. I told her zoos don't do that anymore. I was also disturbed by the racist images of Asians and Africans (not named as such but obvious). Luckily, I don't think the Minnow understands what they are supposed to represent...the people just look as strange as the creatures. I noticed they've updated other books to remove the stereotypes (like The Nose Book) and it would be nice if they could do the same here: maybe it could be about saving endangered creatures or seeing them in nature.
