(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ronald Searle. Loosely tethered to the subject of animal love, the majority of these poems are just wacky, but some are also tender: Grizzly Rose is a terrible snorer, but to her "adoring fellow," the "snootful roaring / Of his lovely lady bear, / Reassure[s] him she's there." Forbes's meter often strikes out, but Searle's colored-in line drawings underscore the poems' lightheartedness.
