From the award-winning author of ANIMALS IN SURPRISING SHADES comes another one-of-a-kind poetry collection written from the viewpoint of the pets of historically famous poets.
Read about Benjamin Franklin in an ode written by Mungo, his pet squirrel, or a new version of Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven, as imagined by his cat, Catterina. Packed with facts about historical and literary figures and their pets, this collection of poems will have young readers returning for more ... and writing a poem or two of their own. Including poems written in the unique styles of sixteen different poets (or, in this case, their pet!), each one is sure to have children and their caregivers enjoying a laugh and imagining what their family pet would write.
Filled with bright, engaging illustrations and a fun assortment of animal characters, this book is the perfect combination of history and poetry that will inspire curiosity and encourage an early love for poetry. It's the perfect addition to elementary school classrooms and libraries, as well as a fun read-aloud for storytime and bedtime.
