Edge wear does not distract from how fun this illustrated book.. 1 32 p. Illustrated black paper over boards: bewildered cartoon lion face on green w/ white front titles. Horizontal format. 9x8.5 in.

Had the reader instead turned the lower right-hand page, one would see a top-heavy "Eleg" with curious legs. So there is seemingly unending fun herein, confusing maybe when families visit zoos or watch National Geographic shows.
