A Crossing of Zebras
A poetic slant on collective nouns. Everyone has heard the phrase "a school of fish." But what about "a rumba of rattlesnakes, an army of ants," or "a crash of rhinos"? Derived from both oral and written traditions, collective nouns go back centuries. These terms not only charm us with their sound, but they provide a bit of insight into animal behavior. Readers can find these and other terms from alley cats to zebras in fourteen thought-provoking poems by Marjorie Maddox. She and artist Philip Huber create a wonderful combination of rich wordplay and captivating art that piques the imagination."
