Product Description
Product Description
A stapler with its tiny fangs
Cannot outwit orangutangs.
Rocks are very good at sitting,
but never walk or take up knitting.
Living things all feel and sense
their way through every happenstance. . . .
In this delightfully witty collection of poems, bestselling author Diane Ackerman shows how the senses shape and enrich
the experiences of all living beings. With enchanting illustrations by Peter Sís, Animal Sense is sure to capture the imagination of readers young and old.

a wonder to read and share, 25 Oct 2007
By VictoriaPB "Victoria" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Animal Sense (Hardcover)
I just discovered Diane Ackerman's work during an interview about her latest book, 'The Zookeeper's Wife' and wanted to learn more about this amazing poet, writer, animal lover. This book of poetry is wonderfully illustrated and is something one may share with a child or an adult. Just picked up two more copies to give as gifts. The words are beautifully woven together and it's easy to forget the skill (not to mention a sense of humor) it requires. You will come back for it time and again. There is no age limit on enjoying this gem.
