Premise/plot: Douglas Florian's newest poetry book is a themed collection--animal poems. The poems are short--delightfully so. Many feature word play, a pun, a joke. (For example, his poem "Sea Gull" plays with the concept of being gullible.) Each poem features a [painted] illustration.

My thoughts: I really LOVED this one. I am partial to Douglas Florian's work to be completely honest. I've never been disappointed by his work. I would recommend this one. ( )

this book is good for children to learn about animals with a little rhyming to add with it.
