This book is a collection of animal stories.

Find out what all those animals are saying behind the humans’ backs in this comical collection . . .

Humor writer and artist Jimmy Craig offers 100 colorful comics, including the inner thoughts of creatures from across the animal kingdom—from misunderstood sharks and troublemaking bears to the often-complicated relationship between you and your pet cat. Get dating advice from raccoons, and learn what roosters think when the sun rises and why cats are always knocking things off of shelves. They Can Talk is the perfect pick-me-up for anyone who loves animals—or just loves to laugh.

Presents stories and adventures of Brady Barr, a zoologist and daring explorer who sometimes dresses up in a crocodile suit or crawls into a hole full of crocodiles.

Boys and girls can create a superhero with vampire teeth, a cowboy with crossed eyes, a robot with a goatee, a pop princess with an eyepatch, and so much more with this colorful book of sticker fun. More than 200 reusable stickers include eyes, noses, mouths, and other funny facial features that can be mixed and matched to create hundreds of different crazy characters.

Little Bertram, he's always bringing home the most extraordinary pets, usually after asking his mamma for permission first, of course. But who ever heard of cutting holes in the ceiling for a giraffe? Running from a dangerously ticklish rhinoceros? Or dealing with a baboon for a babysitter? If only Bertram would bring home a dog or a cat or even a turtle instead, he might not find himself in such predicaments. And his mamma-my, is she frazzled! Author Paul T. Gilbert, who happened to have a son just like Bertram, first imagined these pet-ownership mishaps as bedtime stories, full of laughter and mayhem and wacky good fun. Bertram and His Funny Animals became a book in 1934. Now it's back in a new edition, and this time a troublesome camel joins the original's mischievous menagerie! Children will love Bertram's cackle-inducing dilemmas and the sweet drawings by Minnie Rousseff, and parents will delight in tales filled with the charming foibles of childhood. Assisting Bertram in his misadventures are his well-behaved little brother, Baby Sam, and friends Ginny Banning and George Fish. Aunt Ella and Great-Aunt Jane reliably offer their disapproval of Bertram's not-so-wild animals. Neighbor Mrs. Cree is appropriately nosy. Bertram's mamma, well, she means well. And Bertram's daddy always manages to save the day (that is, when he gets back from business in Omaha).
