Summary: Small book of 30 poems centered around insects, mammals, and amphibians. All are rhythmic and positive. The illustrations are done with scientific accuracy and include scientific names for the living things depicted.

Summary
This book is filled with many poems about animals and bugs. This book introduces a child to poetry in a manner that they can understand.

Personal reflection
I liked this book of poetry because it shows a child how to express things that they may like with a poem. My favorite poem in this book is Firefly by Elizabeth Madox Roberts because it took me back to my childhood catching fireflies at my bigmama's house.

Extension
1. Have the children pick a poem form the book and draw a picture on how they interpret the poem through their eyes.
2. Have each child write their own poem.
3. From the poems written construct our own book of poetry. ( )
