From the Publisher
A young boy weighs the pros and cons of possessing various animal
appendages-such as a duck''s feet, a deer''s antlers, a whale''s
spout, an elephant''s trunk, and a long, long tail-only to decide
that he''s better off just being himself. A zany, insightful story
that beginning readers will wish to hear again and again!
From the Jacket
Illus. in full color. "This zany story of a boy''s wishes for duck feet, a whale spout, deer horns, a long tail, elephant''s trunk, etc. will be a favorite with young readers."--"School Library Journal.
