Omnibeasts are beautiful

My six-year old and I just read Omnibeasts-- by Douglas Florian. It's his collection of his favorite animal poems and paintings, published in 2004 but new to our library. It is a beautiful book, and laugh out loud funny, and educational too. It worked very well for my son-the poems were short enough to hold his attention, and he laughed at all the punchlines; the drawings were detailed enough to engage his attention without being overwhelming.

We will be looking for more Florian books!
