After discovering that a group of ferrets is called a business, Sarah Asper-Smith became fascinated with the intersection of language and the natural world. Using bold prints overlaid on vibrant colours, she created "Have You Ever Seen a Smack of Jellyfish?" to chronicle the poetic words used to describe the magnificent animal kingdom. From a knot of frogs to a watch of nightingales, the book takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the alphabet with animals as their guide, starting with an army of ants and ending with a zeal of zebras. The colour illustrations and playful use of language will appeal to readers of all ages.
