Are the giraffe’s spots painted in and who draws the eyes on the peacock’s feathers? Why does the kangaroo have a pouch on its belly and does it need a backpack when it goes on a hike?
By means of rhyming couplets an inquisitive boy muses on numerous provocative questions. His grandad responds by a simple counter question, always making the grandson laugh. However, some questions go unanswered, so that the boy can think up new imaginative questions!
