Good Mousekeeping: And Other Animal Home Poems

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lisa Desimini. This collection imagines different animals' dream houses: "A turtle likes a humble home / To match his geodesic dome"; a flamingo lives in a "...Flamingolow, / A flaming hot pink bungalow." Readers will be drawn to the wordplay and tongue-in-cheek humor, but some vocabulary may be a bit sophisticated for the intended age group. Desimini's mixed-media illustrations cleverly interpret and extend the poems.
