this Reissued Classic, First Published In 1965, Is Sure To Be A Hit With A Whole New Generation Of Youngsters Just Learning To Read. As Part Of The Beginner Books Series, It Uses A Limited Vocabulary To Tell A Highly Amusing And Inventive Story Of A Boy Who Imagines Himself With All Sorts Of Animal Body Parts Added To His Physique. These Range From The Duck Feet Of The Title To An Elephant’s Trunk To Deer Antlers And A Very Long Tiger Tail. The Boy Decides He Would Then Be Known As Which-what-who. He Could Then Run About The Town And Scare Everyone. However, His Very Different Appearance Might Lead To His Confinement In A Cage At The Zoo And That Would Be No Fun At All. The Illustrations Are Definitely Indicative Of The Sixties. Mom Is Shown In A Dress And Apron Running The Vacuum Cleaner, And Dad Is Pictured Smoking A Pipe. Readers Will Not Be Bothered By These Throwbacks, As They Will Be Caught Up With The Silliness And The Success Of Being Able To Read Independently. This Title Belongs In Every Collection And Home Library.
