When five animal friends--and one cunning
snake--brainstorm ideas about something absolutely terrific to do, they learn
about friendship, cooperation, and compromise. Sophie Gilmore's hilarious
picture book will be devoured by fans of Ryan T. Higgins's We Don't Eat Our Classmates and
Jon Klassen's This Is Not My Hat.

Mandrill, Owl, Badger, Turtle, and Anteater
want to do something terrific together. Anteater suggests climbing--but that is
not terrific for them all. Mandrill suggests hanging upside down, but that is
not terrific for them all, either. And so it goes, until Snake slithers into
the group and nearly upends the whole lovely afternoon.
Eventually, with open minds, patience, and
cooperation--and a wickedly delightful twist--the five friends finally find a
shared passion. Sophie Gilmore's gorgeous artwork is full of rich details, and
she introduces five terrific--and clever--animal characters who readers will
cheer for in the end. Terrific!
is an irresistible choice for young readers and anyone who's ever spent an
afternoon just waiting for that terrific idea to come along.
