I Want a Tail Too!

<p>Animals have tails of all kinds. Some are long and bumpy. Others are well stumpy. They may be made of scales or feathers that vary in color...or it may be bushy and furry and have an odor. And tails can do many things. Swish. Paddle. Shake and rattle. They look like such fun! But as questioned in this book Why don't I have one? Using bright colorful cartoon-style illustrations this book encourages young children to recognize the different types of tails animals have and the things they can do. It also inspires curiosity by having the reader ask periodically throughout why they don't have a tail. And in the end after much exasperation in questioning the lack of a tail the reader gets to exclaim the wish: I want a tail too!</p><p><br></p><p>With rhyming text and simple words this children's picture book provides an entertaining resource for teaching young children early reading skills and building initial vocabulary.
