A nice little poem book so short and sweet. My review on this book is that it's very neat. The storyline is amazing, it doesn't miss a beat

This book is beautiful yet simple. This is the perfect example of how sometimes less can be more. The rhymes worked perfectly, and I read this book to my daughter, who I even heard humming along to the lyrical verses as I read.

This is a sentimental and heartwarming story about a father and a son, but it's also educational without over complicating things.

I enjoyed this book and would recommend this book to others.

When fur and feather get together is a cute book about animals and their families. Cute, simple, short story.

This was a really fun book to read with my 4 year old! He loved the "funny" words of groups of animals (his favorite was "gaggle of geese"!) It is written in rhyming rhythm and is easy to read.
The illustrations are cute, perhaps hand illustrated by a budding artist?

When Fur and Feather Get Together provides a great introduction to the names of group of animals for young readers. Very cute illustrations.

This is an adorable story! I always loved animals and discovering the names of what groups of animals were called. The bond between father and child is well represented here. The rhyme scheme is great and will appeal to early and emerging readers. The illustrations are cute, but the story surpasses them and makes the book great.

This was a cute story about a father and son discussing the different names of animals in groups. Cleverly written. I even learned what a group of owls is called.

4 stars

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book, which I voluntarily reviewed.

A cute little book for teaching children about groups of animals. School of fish, parliament of owls, pride of lions, and so on. I found the illustrations to be lovely with a childish effect to them. It's tough to know what I liked best. The author's take on unicorns or the ending. All in all, a heartwarming tale featuring a father and son.

A little boy and his dad sit on a hill talking about animals and what you call them if they are in a group. “When lions get together they call it a pride; I think I’d be looking for somewhere to hide.” The illustrations are rather simple but very cute: wise owls are wearing wigs, sheep parachuting from the clouds, and some fish with books and one with a backpack. The text is in rhyme.

Cons: None

Pros: This short book with cute illustration is a good way to teach young children a few terms they probably aren't familiar with.

Very cute book! Fur and Feather teaches children the names of groups of animals (school of fish) in an enjoyable rhyme. Great for wee little ones from 1 tear old to 2nd grade. The best part is that the children loved it enough to ask me "Can you read it again?"

This is a very cute book to teach some new vocabulary and terms to little ones. The text is rhyming and has an easy cadence to it. A little boy and his dad sit on a hill talking about animals and dad teaches him what various animals in groups are called. The illustrations are cute, done in coloured pencil, colourful and whimsical. There are wise owls sporting wigs, sheep parachuting from the clouds, fish with school supplies and more. My four year old grandson liked it and the three year olds wanted to read it again. After a few readings, they were telling me what some of the groups were called. A cute book for a family library with young children or for a daycare of pre-school setting.

This heartwarming book is not only educational but gives kids (and adults) a wonderful sense of self-respect, self-worth and deep appreciation of belonging.

A dad and his small son sit on top of a hill and talk together about a variety of animals.

"And we talked about animals from fur to feather,
and what they're called when they get together."

They discuss the names of different animal groups, none ever the same. The book is written in rhyme something that kids always enjoy listening to or reading on their own. They discover that fish with their friends are called a school, lions in a group are a pride, a cluster of whales is a pod, rhinos are a crash, a gathering of geese is a gaggle, a group of sheep is a flock, The next one I did not know myself but it was so fun to find out. Did you know that an assembly of owls is called a parliament? Who knew? Lastly, unicorns spotted together are called a blessing.

The ending of the book is the best of all because the little boy snuggles into his dad, crawls upon his lap and hugs him tight declaring:

"I said, "Of all the groups we could be,
my favourite one is our family."

The happy whimsical illustrations enrich the text and the crescendo is when the boy informs us that the best gathering of all is his own beloved family unit. I love the book's message and highly recommend it.

This is a cute book! It tells about what different groups of animals are called (flock, etc.). It's a great way to for children to learn about the different names of groups of animals. It could be used as an introduction in a science class or in an animal storytime.

What a sweet story! A father and his child spend time together in nature and the father teacher his child the names of groups of animals. I especially liked that the story rhymed so well! Littles will enjoy it! And the illustrations were really cute! I think it would make a great gift for a young child who was interested in animals.
