Inspired by the evocative possibilities of collective nouns, also called \"terms of venery,\" author Kyle Lukoff and illustrator Natalie Nelson have created a picture book full of clever wordplay and delightful illustrations. Each spread features a nugget of a story using a particular term, which is accompanied by a collage illustration that serves as the visual punch line.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut where did these unusual names come from?
