In Aunt Giraffe's Green Garden

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Petra Mathers. This collection features twenty-eight poems with no real cohesion other than being fun to recite. Many of the poems appear to have been written to include specific places--cities, states, countries--but they have little apparent connection to their locale. The animal-themed works show greater craft. The watercolor illustrations are playfully dreamy (though a few are rather listless).
