review 1: Using a variety of poetry forms, Singer combines with Young for a striking book about the bizarre places that creatures can live. She also pays a nod to literary education by telling which poem is in which form. This was surprisingly educational (bugs live on petroleum? Ick! Another reason to abandon the product for our energy needs!) with many of the poems being quite beautiful. Youngs torn paper illustrations left me slightly perplexed at times but mostly were lovely and to the point of the poem being illustrated.
review 2: Another beautiful children's book I picked up at the museum store. This one combines poetry, biology, and beautiful collage to talk about animals which live in strange and dangerous habitats. The scientific details about the animals are ... moreat the back of the book, but each page is a beautiful work of art with a poem. The poems are also in various forms, which the poet discusses at the close of the book. So it is also a way to teach about poetry. Science, poetry, art, all together. Very nice. less
