(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jeffrey Stewart Timmins. Two veteran children's poets create a series of sardonic poems imagining the final moments for a variety of prehistoric creatures, arranged chronologically from the Paleozoic to the Cenozoic eras. The book's humor doesn't always land, and the cartoony digital illustrations (which include a wild-eyed, bearded paleontologist) are more frenzied than funny. Brief facts below each verse add a useful scientific aspect to the volume.
