(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ed Young. This book about exotic animals that inhabit Earth's intemperate environments is a successful mingling of elegant poetry with the natural sciences. Singer introduces facts via poems in free verse and traditional forms such as haiku, triolet, and sonnet. Young's textured, thoughtful collages, as well as endnotes on the animals discussed and on poetry forms, make for a unique and well-rounded volume.
