A Storytelling of Ravens

A parliament of owls and a sloth of bears are some of the idiosyncratic names for groups of animals. Inspired by the evocative possibilities of collective nouns, also called "terms of venery," this picture book is full of clever wordplay and delightful illustrations. Full color.
