| Publisher Description: "This belongs in every collection -- for the poetry, for the photographs, for the information." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Illustrated with gorgeous full-color photographs, this collection sends poetry buffs and animal lovers on an armchair safari they'll never forget. Spot the elusive double acrostic (in which the first and last letters of each line spell a message), the cross acrostic (in which the message is read diagonally), and the multiple acrostic (you have to see it to believe it)-- not to mention lions, zebras, crocodiles, hippos, and elephants. Oh, my Back matter includes information about acrostics, nature notes, and a photographer's note. |
