For Poetry Friday: Doggy slippers: poems by Jorge Lujan (with the
contribution of Latin American children), translated by Elisa Amado with
pictures by Isol.
Fish, lizards, birds, cats,
dogs or something more exotic -- Children love pets. Lujan with the help of
translator Amado make the most of that bond with this collection of 12 poems
drawn from the lives of his young readers.
Lujan built this collection of free verse poems on the suggestions he
invited children to share. A bunny offers her young owner sympathy. A dog named Littlekins is too large for his
name. A boy and his monkey, a turtle, a marmot, a parakeet, and a hamster and more - each has a story to offer up in
the words of their youthful pals.
Perfect for pet lovers
everywhere.
