A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Bookstore:The Utter Zoo:An Alphabet by Edward Gorey

One wonders what those critters on the cover are. Tigers? Dogs? Big doggie-tiger-like-thingies?


A amusing poem by the late, great Edward Gorey, cataloguing twenty-six different bizarre creatures, such as the shy Dawbis, the glue-eating Ipagoggy, the vicious, dinosauric Crunk, the dancing Posby, and the microscopic Ulp.

 
It may give the elephant a run for its money as the largest land mammal.
 
Who wanted to eat one?
 
 
If you like poems and you like weird animals, this is the book for you!
