Mites to Mastodons

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Pamela Zagarenski. This collection written by a Pulitzer Prize–winning poet includes nineteen poems about animals, ranging from pets to wild animals. The quality of the poetry is uneven, from the awful "Mites" with its erratic rhymes ("close" and "glass"?) to the majestic "Alligator." In contrast, the mixed-media illustrations consistently capture the beauty and individuality of each creature.
