This is Book #1 in the Ackwards Banimals Series:These Animals are Backwards.

It is aimed at entertainment, teaching abstract thinking (spoonerisms are fun and challenging for kids), increasing vocabulary, and creating interaction with lots of questions and reactions from kids.This is no ordinary children's book. I wanted it to be something spectacular for the bright spots in our lives. Standard children's books are 32 pages. This is 76 pages!!
