Ziggy Hanaor, illustrated by Elliot Kruszynski
A small furry creature insists that they are a potato, but Dog questions the claim by asking whether they grow underground or have many eyes. Cat then helps narrow the answer: the creature breathes air, eats, and produces waste, so it is an animal. As additional creatures join the conversation, they use questions to work out what kind of animal the puzzled creature is.
