So Many Animals!: A Child's Book of Poetry - Multiple - Bog

What do poetry and pictures have in common? They help children become life-long readers. So Many Animals! A Child's Book of Poetry pairs poems about animals with coloring-book-style illustrations that young readers can color in, making your child part of the creative process. The book features familiar animals - dogs, cats, birds, bunnies - as well as some that might be new to readers - okapi, snow tigers, ghost crabs. Not only can young readers color in pictures of these animals (and more!), they can write a poem about their favorite animal, and draw a picture to go with it. So Many Animals! received a silver medal from both the Mom's Choice Awards and the Florida Authors and Publisher's Association (FAPA) President's Awards. Award-winning author Adrian Fogelin (Crossing Jordan, The Big Nothing), commented, "The idea of combining poetry with a coloring book seems obvious, but it didn't occur to anyone but you-genius!" As a parent, you want your child to discover the beauty of words, delight in the wonders of the world we live in, and build a life-long love of reading. This book helps you and your child achieve all three.
