The Beauty of the Beast: Poems from the Animal Kingdom


The Beauty of the Beast: Poems from the Animal Kingdom by Jack Prelutsky and illustrated by Meilo So, 1997

Brief annotation:
An illustrated collection of poems about animals, insects, and birds by poets from different parts of the world.
Themes include poetry, animals and world culture.

This is a good book for a poetry unit because it is a varied collection in terms of cultural elements and it deals with a favorite topic of children: animals.
