Illustrated by
Joohee Yoon.
Sixteen animal poems draw on the usual suspects' (Nash, Blake, Belloc, etc.) most obvious poems ("The Eel," "The Tiger," "The Yak"); but you wouldn't be buying this book for the poems but for the pictures. The book is big, square, and sturdy, with thick off-white paper subduing the crazy embellishment poured onto each page via overlays of three primary colors.
