Illustrated by
Lauren Stringer.
"Folding a snake? / Need advice? / Be precissssssse." Thirty-two very short poems celebrate origami animals. From morning to bedtime, a young boy adds to his menagerie and attends to his creations (in "Rabbit Complains": "Unbend my ear! / I can't hear / a word / you are / saying"). Stringer's acrylic illustrations bring the creations to life.
