Synopsis
The smallest of nature's wonders are treated with reverence, sensitivity, and gentle humor in this new collection of poems by celebrated writer Jane Yolen. Accompanied by Jason Stemple's extraordinary photographs, these fourteen poems, all in haiku form, eloquently capture common creatures in all their humility, quirkiness, and splendor. Young readers can easily identify the tree frog, snail, grasshopper, hummingbird, spider, and other tiny subjects while delighting in these thoughtful poetic gems filled with simple words and abundant imagination.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 5-Yolen has written 14 haikus in response to Stemple's full-color photographs of small animals and insects. The poems are well crafted and thoughtful. Some interesting facts about each creature are also included. Covering full spreads, the vivid photographs show subjects in sharp focus, while the periphery is blurred, creating the perfect backdrop for the text. The name of each animal is printed across the picture in a large, color-coordinated font. The subject matter, the eye-catching photographs, and the brevity of the selections will appeal to younger children. Older children, especially those who are studying haiku, will enjoy the wordplay and imagery. They will also be interested in the introduction in which the author describes how the book came about. A first purchase with broad appeal.
