"I
wrote over twenty different tiger poems until I had one
I liked.
Clearly, this animal didn’t want to to be captured
by the likes of me." David Elliott
In
the Wild
by David Elliott
Mockingbird Award Book
TLA Award Book
The
lion "has his pride." The elephant
... "like a cloud" ... powerful, yet "delicate
as lace." Who is that "tree topper?" Who
is "a magician?" How does alphabetical order describe
the difference between an antelope and
a zebra?
David
Elliott brings gorgeous wild animals to life with his poetry
that entertains and amazes, using powerful puns and distinctive
literary devices In the
Wild. Showcased in Holly Meade's awesome woodcuts and
watercolors, this poetry collection will not only delight
young readers but will also stretch their skills with high-powered
vocabulary.
In
the Wild
introduces youngsters to skillful poetry in its celebration
of a variety of earth's wildest and most profoundly beautiful
animals. Students will enjoy looking for the quirks in language
and discussing the way the author uses literary devices
to draw attention to their unusual traits. No classroom
collection or library is complete without this book. |
