This book contains over ninety animal poems for children, beautifully illustrated in colour by seven different artists. All sorts of animals feature, from pets to insects, farm animals to sea creatures and beasts in the jungle. Children will love the variety and humour in this anthology - in the poems as well as the illustrations. John Foster is a skilled anthologiser and he has put together a wonderful selection of poems by Walter de la Mare, John Keats, Spike Milligan, Hilaire Belloc, Dick King-Smith, Wendy Cope, Tony Mitton, and Ogden Nash, as well as many others. A must for every bookshelf, whether at home or at school.
