About the Author:
Wallace Edwards is a commissioned artist, as well as a freelance illustrator for books and magazines. He lives in Yarker, Ontario, near Kingston.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 3-5–These original nonsense poems about a miscellany of odd beasts comprised of a mixture of two species, such as a Rhinocerostrich, a Bumblebeaver, a Kangarooster, and a Camelelephant, are clever and funny. Full-page, detailed illustrations of exotic flora and fauna as well as preposterous creatures are rendered in watercolor, colored pencil, and gouache. The humor of the selections is carried out in the art. Delicate borders and titles in Edwardian script, as well as paisley endpapers, lend an elegant appearance. This arresting book has lots of child appeal. An appendix lists other wondrous beasts encountered by roving zoologist Professor Duckworth O'Hare, Esq. The original edition of this title was written and illustrated by Kenyon Cox and published in 1904.–Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, NY
