Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Beauty of the Beast: Poems from the Animal Kingdom is a stunning collection of poems celebrating "the beauty and wonder of the animal kingdom". Poet and anthologist Jack Prelutsky has chosen 200 works by 123 poets from Carl Sandburg to Seamus Heaney, with a tip of the hat to his own "The Multilingual Mynah Bird". Not surprisingly for someone who grew up near the Bronx Zoo, Prelutsky has arranged the poems into five zoological classifications. The vibrant watercolour illustrations for this book were created by Meilo So, a brilliant Hong Kong-born artist. A welcome anthology for poetry lovers, watercolour enthusiasts and children's book collectors alike.

Synopsis
The Beauty of the Beast is an exciting book offering lasting value. The poetic parade of the animal king dom ranges from the lowly earthworm to the majestic whale an d just about every creature in between. All poems are brief and fun to read aloud. '

5.0 out of 5 stars Jack Prelutsky's Noah's Ark of poetry quacks readers up., 17 April 1998
By A Customer
Nobody ever collected animals together like Noah. Nobody ever collected animal poems like Jack Prelutsky. The Beauty of the Beast is a winner with great animal poems that appeal to all ages. If you like animals, you'll love these animal poems, and may even find yourself liking poetry too. We did.
