When Fur and Feather Get Together [Hardcover]

There are picture books that teach; there are picture books about family; and there are picture books that have outstanding illustrations. When Fur and Feather Get Together is a picture book that does all three - embracing the enduring themes of family, fun, learning and visual delight.

Did you know that a sighting of a group of unicorns is so rare that it is called a blessing?When Fur and Feather Get Togetheris a fun and educational rhyming story about a father and child enjoying their lazy day together. Incorporating the warm and whimsical animal paintings of illustrator Kim Wyly, the father teaches his child what different animal groups are called.
