Sixteen heavyweight pages are split into thirds so that the head, middle, and feet of each animal can be mixed up with the parts of another. Images on front and back add to the fun, and all of the animals are depicted in silly, unnatural ways.
The White Ravens 2015 catalog justifies this book's inclusion by saying that "illustrator Constanze von Kitzing creates pictures more odd than cute in this textless book, sparking young readers' imaginations and their anarchic drive to dress themselves up in nutty ways and to slip into other roles" and "the carefully crafted acrylic pictures tuck away much fun . . ."
