A playful guide to animal group names

Cats gathered together are called a “clutter,” while a group of chimps is a “troop”—examples of the unusual collective nouns that shape this animal-themed picture book. Wendy Barron pairs these names with imagined encounters among animal groups, including zebras, dolphins, doves, and chickens. The subject gives the book an educational thread, while its verse and illustrations present the vocabulary through lively animal interactions. It offers a focused introduction to the quirky language used for groups of animals.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 curious about animals and unusual words
  • Families looking for a picture book that combines animal vocabulary with verse and illustrations

Book overview

Did you know that animal group names are as diverse as the animals themselves? A cluster of cats is called a clutter, but chimps in a group is called a troop!

Prickles and Prides takes readers on a journey into the animal kingdom in this imaginative celebration of the wonderful and whacky words we give animal groups. Within these pages you will see a dazzle of zebras compete against a team of dolphins and a dole of doves dance with a brood of chickens--a playful showcase of the names of various animal collectives as they interact with each other in entertaining ways. Written in witty, lively verse and brought to life with beautiful illustrations, these amusing animal interactions will both delight and enlighten their audience.

Prickles and Prides is a fun and educational expedition into the whimsical wild that the whole family will want to read and reread!
