Florian D. Mammalabilia. Harcourt Children's Books, 2000. 48 pages. PB $5.99 ISBN 9780152021672 Summary This marvelous menagerie of twenty-one poems and paintings will make readers laugh out loud. With mammals ranging from the howling coyote and the wood-chopping beaver to the daring ibex and the speedy tiger, this is a zoo full of furry fun like no other! Age Range: 6-9 years old Awards Won: Claudia Lewis Award (2001) Review Children will love this collection of silly animal poems! While many of the rhymes are about well known animals like the elephant and tiger, there are also some that are more unusual like the ibex and rhebok. The use of humor is perfect, and makes this an excellent introduction to poetry for young animal lovers! Themes Animals, Nature Application Librarians can use this book to introduce simple poetry concepts to kids. After sharing the poems, children can try their own hand at writing poems about their favorite animals. It might even be fun to create an animal poetry display where children can write down their poems, and place them up on the wall to share with the community. A magnetic poetry wall would be great as well! Read-alikes Rosen, Michael J. (2009). The Cuckoo's Haiku: And Other Birding Poems. Florian, Douglas. (1998). Insectlopedia. References Goodreads.
