Amusing book with some excellent humor, a funny way of showing how hard it would be for animals to act like humans.

Two favorite pages: Dog walking another smaller dog, holding a pooper scooper and looking bored. Shots of animals crowding around a person's cage (caption is "and most of all, because we wouldn't like it").

Easily paired with a creative writing exercise where the readers have to create their own page. Might even be fun to put in a binder for future classes.

The edition I read is from Scholastic, published in October 1991. This book teaches alliteration and gives goofy reasons why animals shouldn't act like people. There are very few words on the pages, and the illustrations are muted in color.

An okay book, but not as whimiscal or charming as Animals Should Definitely NOT Wear Clothes, or Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. In this short story, the author lists a variety of animals and why they should not partake in people behavior.

Nicely goofy illustrations.

This book is interesting and would be fun for kids. It has words that don’t specifically rhyme but they start with the same letters like “ostrich, odd”.

I really liked this book. It was very colorful, whether the pictures or the pages that the writing is on. I also liked how the story was written by using the same letters.

Humorous reasons why animals shouldn’t act like people: because a worm would be worn out, for example.

Good integration of story and illustrations.

kids had a little trouble understanding the why.... often pictures/situations needed explaining....

In the same vein of Animals should definitely not wear clothing but with animals acting like people.

This is by one of the author/illustrators of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.

The illustrations are ink and watercolor.

Animals doing ordinary things people do everyday. I liked the last page "because we wouldn't like it!" and shows a bunch of animals looking into a cage at us!

Not as good as 'Animals Should Definitely Not Wear Clothing'.

Cute story for kids!

I just remember this from my childhood and wanted to share with my child. It is so fun!
