I love a book by Kes Gray and this is no exception. The names are brilliant! I like to read it in bed to my 'bedtime guys' but I like it even better when my Mum reads it and does a great impression of a blobfish!

This book is super silly and fun! It’s about animals with the weirdest names ever—like the Ice Cream Cone Worm and the Pink Fairy Armadillo. I knew about some of the animals, but I learned new ones too! My favourite was the Monkeyface Prickleback. I laughed a lot and now I want to find more animals with silly names!

The book interested me because my friend read it and I saw her review which made me decide to read it. I would recommend it to someone else because it's really funny all the way through, especially at the end.

My favourite character was the cockapoo. I liked it because it was funny!! I like when the Ahaha wasp gets very very cross! I also like they are real animals and you can find out about them at the end.
