Description
Each of the twenty-three poems in this posthumous collection by Valerie Worth carefully distinguishes one animal from all other creatures and captures it in all of its wonderful singularity - from wasp to snake to wren. Worth illuminates the uniqueness of each animal in her free verse, and cut-paper illustrations by Steve Jenkins provide a counterpoint to Worth's spare style. Together poetry and picture bring every animal to life.
