Books with title Curious Creatures: Animal Poems

Filled with humorous and thought-provoking poems, this collection introduces young readers to some of the world's oddest animals including the earthworm, the echidna, the flying paradise snake of Borneo, and Western Australia's quokka. Buttressed with bright, lively illustrations, each poem is filled with intriguing facts about each animal, including the strangest of all creatures: man.

Twenty-six short, somewhat surreal animal verses, each with an illustration. These idiosyncratic ideas and ridiculous rhymes bear no resemblance to ordinary animals – hence 'Curious Creatures'. A book for children and also perhaps for adults, these rhyming verses cover each letter of the alphabet. The black-and-white illustrations are unusual and funny and match the verse content very well.
