I checked this book out of the library for my kids several years ago and fell in love with it, deciding I needed my very own copy. Thank you, rubyrebel, for making my wish come true!

I am a fan of Jack Prelutsky, who has entertained my children and me with wonderful "critter" poems in Tyrannosaurus Was a Beast, Scranimals, and Behold the Bold Umbrellaphant. When I read this collection of Haiku, I was charmed. Prelutsky uses wonderful, onomatopoeic language for each brief poem about animals. I think my favorite is the jellyfish:

Boneless, translucent
We undulate, undulate
Gelatinously.

Isn't that wonderful, and a great way to expose kids to big words?

Of course, my kids are practically grown now (ages 18 and 13), so my acquisition is really just for me :) I plan to keep it as PC.

Thanks again, rubyrebel!
