Doggy Slippers

(4) K-3 Translated by Elisa Amado. Illustrated by Isol. Each of these twelve blank verse poems describes a pet: a monkey, a marmot, Hurricane the dog who pops soap bubbles with her tail, a "tiny, / very tiny, / teeny tiny" hamster, etc. Unfussy line drawings with splashes of color perfectly match the poems, which were created in collaboration with children from Latin America and occasionally strain for a childlike voice.
