Whimsical and witty, "Man Gave Names to All the Animals" first appeared on Bob Dylan's album Slow Train Coming in 1979. Illustrator Jim Arnosky has crafted a stunning picture book adaptation, with breathtaking images of more than 170 animals, from bears to bulls. Arnosky has done the song proud with a parade of spectacular creatures ready to receive their names-until the surprise ending, when children get to name an animal themselves!
