(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Jamie Hogan. Formalist poems accompanied by pastel and charcoal pencil drawings celebrate animals in their natural habitats. Skinks in a cinquain "sneak / From cool crannies," and snakes "slither in a sizzling haze," surrounded by sibilance. The sometimes comic poems highlight animal habits and habitats that readers might otherwise overlook. Back matter discusses the forms as well as the poet's zoological inspirations.
