From School Library Journal:
K-Gr 2-Animal anatomy and the myriad differences between humans and animals are the focus of this imaginative picture book. Each page (or spread) is devoted to some aspect of animal anatomy, such as elephant trunks, mosquito mouths, or monkey tails and what a child might do with such an appendage. Winter's playful watercolor illustrations show a young girl trying out each scenario with an animal companion. However, some of the situations and the intended humor may easily be lost on young readers/listeners. For example, "If you had spinnerets/like a spider's,/you could sail, sail away/on every breezy day." The child is shown hanging from some rather elaborate webbing, but no further explanation is offered. After the litany of "ifs," the text switches gears and Bauer affirms all of the things the child can do, "Because you are made/just to be you." For readers interested in the natural world, Judy Allen's series about insects, including Are You a Bee? (Kingfisher, 2001), explores the differences between human child and insect in a more detailed and enjoyable manner.
