Over fifty poems celebrating all aspects of our relationship with the animal kingdom. The first solo collection from an already well-known and much-anthologised poet.
Come on a nature adventure, in over 50 poems about all kinds of animals, from the albatross to the wombat! Find a coiling cobra, a crosseros rhinoceros, the chimpantease and sharky-lurky. See tiger shadows in the bedroom, a real tiger creeping in the jungle - and lazy lion lounging in the long grass. Discover endangered creatures: a baby polar bear, a song thrush, a hungry hedgehog. Look for diving penguins and the loveable sausage-dog - and there's a secret pet to guess! This is a wonderful, wide-ranging debut collection for animal-lovers everywhere.
