Come on a nature adventure, in over 50 poems about all kinds of animals, from the albatross to the wombat!
Find a coiling cobra, crosseros rhinoceros, the chimpantease and sharky-lurky. Watch lazy lion lounging in the long grass and discover endangered creatures like the baby polar bear and the song thrush. Then guess the names of the mystery bird and the secret pet….Are you ready for your nature adventure?
This is a wonderful, wide-ranging debut collection for animal-lovers everywhere.
‘Squeak! Squawk! Roar!’ is a brilliant collection of animal poems about all types of animals from insects to pets, farm animals to wild animals and everything in between. The poems would be great to read aloud in the classroom to children of any age and older children will enjoy reading them independently as well. I love that there is a range of types of poems including rhyming and not rhyming, varying in length, and different layouts on the page. This provides lots of opportunity for children to have a go at imitating different types of poems themselves, choosing their own animal to write about. There are also some poems where children can guess which animal the poem is about. The illustrations throughout the book are also a lovely touch.
