Each charming poem describes features of an animal or something it is doing, which is then depicted in the interesting collage art. Because the art is collage, different parts have interesting visual textures that provide a sense of distinctness to the depictions.

This is a wonderful picture book of poems about various animals. The poems are well-written and engaging as a read-aloud for young children. For older children, this book could be paired with non-fiction books about the animals featured for personal or classroom study. Steve Jenkins is a favorite illustrator of mine and in this book, he does not disappoint!
