This book contains a collection of 128 poems/verses, along with one skit, about
a variety of rare, threatened, endangered and extinct species of Africa and Europe.
Over fifty of the mammals, birds, butterflies, reptiles, amphibians, and sea creatures
are illustrated. Through use of humor and pathos, as well as a variety of poetic
structures, the author will engage the young and not-so-young, as they discover their
role in helping wildlife from these continents. You’ll want to laugh with the hyena,
cry with the quagga, and say ‘aye’ to the aye-aye.
These poems are best enjoyed when read aloud in an enthusiastic manner. If your
enthusiam takes the form of positive action, her primary objective will have been
accomplished.
Об авторе
The author resides in Michigan where she is a middle-school teacher of world languages. Numerous trips abroad have enhanced her writing and teaching. She has written collections for youth; numerous limericks; romantic poems on orchids, cacti, and other flowers; tributes to various people and events; hymns and praise choruses.
This volume follows volume one, on animals from the Western Hemisphere, and volume two, featuring species from Africa and Europe. She was fascinated with the mammals and birds from Australia and environs and found herself falling in love with
the lovely honeycreepers of the Hawaiian islands, whose habitat has been disturbed, almost beyond repair. As she finds herself looking for solutions—miraculous or mundane—to the plight of many creatures, she hopes that you will be inspired to do
the same.
