About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to spark a sense of wonder and silliness during a quiet afternoon or before a trip to the zoo. It is the perfect choice for a child who is beginning to appreciate the cleverness of language and needs an invitation to look at the natural world through a more imaginative lens. Rather than a dry list of facts, Celeste Walters offers a collection of whimsical poems that personify animals in delightful and unexpected ways. Each poem serves as a playful introduction to a different creature, using sophisticated wordplay and rhythmic verse to build a child's vocabulary while making them laugh. It is an ideal bridge for kids aged 6 to 10 who are transitioning from picture books to chapter-style collections. By choosing this book, you are encouraging your child to see the humor in nature and the creative possibilities of poetry, turning a simple observation of an animal into a theatrical discovery.
