A rhyming poetry collection of 16 poems about unique animals in our nature that exist because of their sip, slurp, and suck! In my opinion, this would be of interest to adults even though this is classified as a kids' picture book.
The creatures in this poetry collection include vampire bats, elephants, mosquitos, ticks, fleas, lampreys, stingrays, leeches, butterflies, jellyfish, and so on.
