LITERATURE
Florian, Douglas

Omnibeasts

(3) K-3 "Mr. Bactrian, a question for you-- / about your back: one lump or two?" Short, snappy verses about foxes, ocelots, egrets, and more will delight animal lovers. Humor and wordplay distinguish these forty-four at once sophisticated and accessible poems, which have been culled from Florian's previous animal-verse collections. Playful portraits of the creatures capture the spirit and fun of the poems.
