National Geographic Book of Animal Poetry: 200 Poems with Photographs That Squeak, Soar, and Roar!4/7/2017
Awards Won: Bank Street Books Best Poetry Book of 2012; Named one of the Best Children's Books of 2012 by Kirkus Reviews; Named one of the top Children's Books of 2012 by the New York Public Library; Named one of the 100 Magnificent Children's Books of 2012 by Fuse 8; CYBILS' Poetry Finalist. Review The photos correspond well with the specific animal being discussed, giving young readers a visual aid. Lewis sings the praises of the diversity of the animal world in his introduction, and his "final thought" urges children to not only learn about animals and celebrate them, but also to respect them and the Earth in general. A special section on how to write poems highlights a few of the different forms. This visually stunning book is sure to delight nature lovers everywhere.—Rita Meade, Brooklyn Public Library, NY Themes Poetry Nature Animals Application This book has almost endless uses in a public or school library - not only is it a welcome addition to the poetry collection, but the individual poems are classics, and the illustrations are so brilliant that a page or two would make a great storytime addition between books and songs, as well.
