review 1: All of the animals are having a masquerade party - disguises are a must - and so, one by one, we meet each of the animals and what they are wearing. There are colored pencil drawings - and the ones depicting the animal in costume are hilarious. There is simple text mainly The went disguised as a and one animal leads to another - for example the wiener dogs went as a zebra and then, on the next page, the zebra went as a mouse. There are some puns (the fish went as a cat…which made him a catfish) and the author pokes fun at chickens (the hen didn't dress up because she didn't understand a thing) This was laugh-out-loud funny for kids and adults alike and there were plenty of opportunities to engage by identifying animals and making their sounds.
review 2:... more> The animals are invited to a masquerade and they have to come disguised. So each page spread is an animal and what it is disguised as and then the next one shows the previous disguised animal and what it is going as. I loved some of these disguises; the sheep in particular tickled me in its hedgehog costume, but I do think it went on way too long. There are probably twice as many pages as there needs to be with as little story as there is. However, the disguises are fun and the party at the end looks fun. less
