Celebrate the beauty and strength of solitude with this poetic
observation of the animal kingdom and those who move through it on
their very own. That silvery cloud swimming in the sea is actually
a school of fish. That splash and crash is a pod of whales,
sounding. Behold, a fever of stingrays gliding by. But what do you
call a group of octopuses? A tangle of octopuses? A chandelier of
octopuses? A multipus of octopuses? No, octopuses prefer to be
alone. The octopus is a solitary animal. This lyrical, nonfiction
text honors animals who live in solitude, in contrast to others who
live in groups. Against a backdrop of the specific names of various
animal tribes (a parade of elephants, a tower of giraffes, a dazzle
of zebras), Stein shines a spotlight on those animals who go
through life on their own. With nature at his back, Stein invites
readers to draw strength and comfort from the behaviors of fellow
animals. Perfect for children who are introverted or tend to be
alone, and their parents...as well as all children, who will be
encouraged to respect the "natural" choices of their peers.
