Stampede!: Poems to Celebrate the Wild Side of School

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Steven Salerno. In these poems students climb jungle gyms like monkeys, splash in puddles like hogs, and sometimes want to hide their faces like turtles. Some of the comparisons are fairly obvious but others show creativity, and they're rendered in generally solid rhyme and meter. Bright cartoonlike illustrations use broad strokes to portray the animal-like children.
