Poetry Friday is hosted today by Teacher Dance.
For Poetry Friday -- "Twosomes : love poems from the animal kingdom"
written by Marilyn Singer with illustrations by Lee Wildish.
In
honor of Valentine's Day and just for giggles, I've selected Singer's pun-filled collection of couplets celebrating
the love between various animal pairs.
Designed as a gift book with a "To, From" page decorated with
hearts, this is a little delight filled with kid-friendly verses celebrating
the joy of friendship. Familiar dogs and
cats share pages with bats and porcupines in search of their own
"Valentine."
HORSES:
"Nose to nose, hip to hip,/ours is a stable relationship.
PORCUPINES:
"Hugging you takes some practice./So I'll start out with a cactus.
Wildish
provides a perfect reflection of the merry verses with cartoon style
illustrations.
