'I am a potato', says a small, furry creature. 'Don't be ridiculous, ' says Dog. 'Do you grow underground? Do you have lots of eyes? No? Then you're not a potato.' 'Then WHAT AM I?' wails Creature. Cat comes along. 'Do you breathe air? Do you eat and poo? Do you move around? You are an animal!' But what kind of animal is he? As his identity crisis continues, more creatures join the conversation, asking questions and narrowing down the options until they eventually work out what the creature is. This is a silly, delightful book that nonetheless teaches an important lesson about using the scientific method to deduce answers by observing, asking questions and eliminating possibilities. Vividly brought to life in Elliot Kruszynski's punchy, graphic illustrations, taxonomy has never been this fun.
