A Whiff of Pine, a Hint of Skunk
A Whiff of Pine, a Hint of Skunk: A Forest of Poems | Deborah Ruddell
3 posts | 1 read
In a watery mirror the rugged raccoon admires his face by the light of the moon: the mysterious mask, the whiskers beneath, the sliver of cricket still stuck in his teeth. Take a lighthearted romp through four seasons in the forest with these whimsical poems. Marvel at the overachieving beaver, applaud the race-winning snail and its perfect trail of slime, or head off to be pampered at a squirrel spa. Warning: Deborah Ruddell's quirky cast of animal characters and Joan Rankin's deliciously daffy pictures will cause giggles. The woods have never been so much fun!

“The juicy mosquito I snagged in midair, was uncommonly good, yet it didn‘t compare, to the tongueful of ants that I licked off the first, which would melt in your mouth like the sweetest dessert.”

blurb

This book could keep children interested forever; since the rhyme scheme is predictable, students can take turns guessing what the next line of the poem would be. Children also love animals, so I think they would really enjoy reading this poem book.
