This is Brian Moses’ most popular poem when he performs in schools. It is full of energy, rhythm and fun.

With Ed Boxall’s colourful illustrations it is turned into a perfect picture book for sharing, with a collection of exotic animals – an iguana, piranha, chihuahua, chinchilla, gorilla and even caterpillar – all walking together on a hot, sunny beach.
