![]() ![]() We learn about the somewhat unfamiliar lyrebird of New Zealand and plover, the wading bird of Egypt, as well as the familiar favorites like the crow and woodpecker and weaverbird. The illustrations by Lisa McCue are bright, colorful and the birds are shown quite realistically in their natural habitat. And, we might learn a bit about the various poetic forms from Haiku to Limerick to Cinquain. The poems in Feathers are short and lyrical, and most a quite humorous, plus all of them are delightfully entertaining and educational - we learn a little about each bird as we chuckle at the apt titles. Her Polar Bear, Arctic Hare is a firm favorite in our bookshelf. Some are for the older readers while others are easily enjoyed by all.Įileen Spinelli needs no introduction. ![]() The animal poetry books are listed here in no particular order.
