Mammano's delightful offering will have readers smiling from cover to cover as rhinos ride the waves. Their day is related in surfing jargon as they "jam" to the beach, spend time on their boards, and contentedly return home. Some the book's appeal is due to the surprising incongruency of rhinos gracefully surfing. These animals have a rollicking good time as they assume correct positions and moves that the text explains in brief sentences that rise and fall upon the waves in large graphic lettering. Bright colors with abstract designs in dominant blues and greens skillfully woven into the background define the setting but never detract from the realistic look of ocean waves. Children who have watched surfers from the shore will be pleased to find a book about the subject, while those inland will appreciate its sheer fun and buoyant exuberance. A section titled "Surf Lingo" rounds out the presentation. A refreshing addition.?Diane Nunn, Richard E. Byrd Elementary School, Glen Rock, NJ Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
