Animal Trunk: Silly Poems to Read Aloud

30 pp. | Abrams | September, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-8109-4200-3 $$14.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Gabriel. This collection of fifteen simple poems is enhanced by its bold illustrations set against brightly colored backgrounds. Each spread is devoted to one kind of animal (chickens, giraffes, monkeys, lambs), with a bouncy, playful poem well suited to reading aloud. The pictures will draw readers in, although most of the poems sound alike--more variety in their structure would have been welcomed.
