Animals in Surprising Shades: Poems About Earth's Colorful Creatures

As the title suggests, this picture book contains many poems for kids that feature a whole spectrum of colorful animals from around the world. It’s both an introduction to poetry and to wonderful animals, for kids that like language or science (or both!). They’ll learn about some of the roles and uses that colors have in the animal kingdom, all while exploring different forms of poems such as the haiku. To match the featured animals, there is plenty of pretty illustration all throughout and is recommended for kids around ages 6 to 10. It’s also great for parents and educators alike.
