[PW] ? mammal alphabet book ID--long shot

[Hilary Caws-Elwitt]

Hi Wombats,

I'm starting here because I'm not subscribed to any kidlit lists; feel free to
pass on if any of you are.

We do a picture book contest for kids, and naturally have to deal with
plagiarism issues once in a while. We have an entry entitled "Mammals A to Z" by
which seems suspiciously advanced for a 7-year-old. (The illustrations are 
clearly original and adorable; it's the text we are worried about). Some of the 
couplets/animals also ring a faint bell. I can't find any matching book in our 
collection or by searching the usual places.

Below are some representative letters. Does this seem familiar to anyone else? 
Thanks for taking a look!

A is for ape that is big and brown
B is for bat that hangs upside down
...
M is for mouse that likes to eat cheese
N is for narwhal that lives in the seas
...
Q is for quagga, no longer around
...
X is for [blank]--no mammals that begin with this letter you see
Y is for yak, of horns it has two
Z is for zebra, and now we are through
