(2) K-3 Illustrated by Daniel Salmieri. This collection of animal poems opens with a map of the world; the fifty-plus poems, in a variety of forms, are arranged geographically by region. Funny wordplay matches up with amusing illustrations in watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil that depict each animal accurately but with a twinkle of personality. A selection of further interesting animal facts is appended.
