In this smart, lively collection of fourteen poems, readers will find intriguing descriptions of mummies and dinosaurs, fine art and textiles. Factual tidbits within the poems may provide just enough information to whet readers' appetites and inspire them to seek out more details on a subject. The poems are complemented by bold mixed-media double-page spreads of museum artifacts and awestruck children.
