About Eric Carle's Animals Animals

Product Description From leaping, flying fish to dancing butterflies, and camels that "trollop along," Eric Carle's brilliant and colorful collage designs bring to life animal poems from such diverse sources as Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll, Rudyard Kipling, Emily Dickinson, and Jack Prelutsky, as well as Bible verses, Japanese haiku, American Indian poems and more. This celebration of the wonder and variety of earth's animals is "joyous...a book to be shared" (Booklist, starred review). From Publishers Weekly Inspired by a wide-ranging array of animal poems and poets from Benjamin Franklin to Clarence Day, Carle "depicts his menagerie at full tilt, with sensuous succulence," said PW.
