Described as “a thing of visual and verbal beauty,” this lavishly illustrated treasury of 366 animal poems—one for every day of the year—is a joyful safari through the natural world that will brighten bedtimes and linger in children’s hearts for a lifetime. Featuring a rich mix of classic and contemporary voices including Roger McGough, William Blake, Ted Hughes, Grace Nichols, and Emily Dickinson, each poem is paired with Britta Teckentrup’s stunning artwork that captures the wonder of the animal kingdom. With luxurious details like cloth binding, full-colour illustrations, a textured paper jacket, ribbon marker, and head and tail bands, this is a timeless gift to be cherished by children and adults alike.
