The boss over them is quite upset to learn a new design angel has proposed a creature with a hard, lumpy, outer covering - a shell - for a 'turtle.' He goes on to talk about turtles. Then he begins to show a design for a giraffe- a design he considers a disaster to try to fit that neck on that body. The book also include rhinocereouses, hummingbirds, horseshoe crabs and more.
