This is so absolutely adorable ❤️ I remember asking the same question when I was little. I love the pictures and the clever way the story is rhymed.

Super fun! I love how it rhymes! It also gives some information about how some animals use their tails.

If you guessed that this book was a tale about tails then you just got yourself a gold star! This little golden book introduces the reader to various tails and their sizes and shapes. It then poses that most important of questions, "If they all have tails, then why haven't I?"
