The Originals: Animals That Time Forgot

32 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-399-23007-6
(3) K-3 Thirteen poems about the unusual forebears--the medieval Tamworth pig, the multi-horned Hebridean sheep introduced to Scotland by Viking raiders, the tiny prehistoric Exmoor pony--of some of today's domesticated animals reveal how the creatures still live, barely changed over thousands of years. Both witty and respectful, the poems convey a sense of history. Vivid watercolors capture the mystery and majesty of these "originals."
