These were really creative poems especially because of all of the different shapes. It was interesting how the author took so many common things and animals and found ways to present them in a new way. Each page was so different it made you really pay attention and read the poems closely. I think my favorite one was "Giraffe."

Dachshund
Giraffe
Weeping Willow
Synchronized Swim Team
Winter

Fun read for kids of all ages. The poems throughout the book take shape, and readers are allowed to have two forms of imagery, one from the words, and one from the actual pictures that form.
