What would life be like if you had feet like a duck, or horns like a deer, a whale spout on your head, or a very long nose?
 
In this crazy tale a small boy imagines all these things, and more! Follow him as he weighs the pros and cons of possessing various animal appendages—such as a duck's feet, a deer's antlers, a whale's spout, an elephant's trunk, and a long, long tail—only to decide in the end that perhaps it’s better to be “ME” after all. A wacky, insightful story that beginning readers will wish to hear again and again!
