This lovely little book is written by J. Patrick Lewis, Children’s Poet Laoureate. There are eight two page spreads with an informative poem on one page and a photo with a fact box on the facing page. Language is accessible, with a glossary at the back as well as a few pages of facts to correspond to the animals/habitats featured. This is a nicely done nonfiction book, with the combined poetry/fact writing working well together. Students will enjoy the playful language and the information presented, learning some facts along the way. Recommended.
