Illustrated by
Steve Jenkins.
This posthumous collection features twenty-three animal poems in free verse. Worth uses common language uncommonly, rich with sound sameness and repetition. Master cut-paper artist Jenkins matches the verbal surprises with his own visual revelations. Without background clutter, each double-page spread devotes itself to a single poem and image, impressive and regal in their cumulative effect.
