(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Flora McDonnell. Presented in the same appealing, hand-sized format as The Mermaid's Purse, these twenty-eight poems evoke members of the animal kingdom in language so deft that the profundity of the ideas suggested may elude the casual reader. But the full-bleed art, layered in black, white, and shades of gray, sets the tone. There's humor aplenty and clever wordplay, there is also, at times, the menace of tooth and claw.
