A Compendium of Collective Nouns: From an Armory of Aardvarks to a Zeal of Zebras

Language lovers will be captivated by this illustrated dictionary, featuring an embarrassment of pandas, an ooze of amoebas, and much more.

This illustrated guide compiles over two thousand collective nouns and brings them to life in stunningly colorful graphic artwork from the design dynamos at Woop Studios. Chock-full of treasures of the English language, the diversity of terms collected here covers topics from plants and animals (a parade of elephants, an embarrassment of pandas) to people and things (a pomposity of professors, an exultation of fireworks) and range from the familiar (a pride of lions) to the downright obscure (an ooze of amoebas).

Pronunciations, definitions, etymologies, and historical anecdotes make this beautiful book an entertaining read, a standout reference, and a visual treat.
