A companion to I Am Phoenix, this marvelous, lyrical evocation
of the insect world demands accolades. With subjects ranging from
grasshoppers to butterflies, there is variety in tone, mood, and
theme. There are fourteen poems in the handsomely designed volume,
with wonderfully interpretive illustrations. Each selection is a
gem, polished to perfection.
內容簡介：
Written to be read aloud by two voices--sometimes alternating,
sometimes simultaneous--here is a collection of irresistible poems
that celebrate the insect world, from the short life of the mayfly
to the love song of the book louse. Funny, sad, loud, and quiet,
each of these poems resounds with a booming, boisterous, joyful
noise.
In this remarkable volume of poetry for two voices, Paul Fleischman
verbally re-creates the "Boomingboisteriousjoyful noise" of
insects. The poems resound with the pulse of the cicada and the
drone of the honeybee. Eric Beddows′s vibrant drawings send each
insect soaring, spinning, or creeping off the page in its own
unique way.
A clear and fascinating guide to the insect world--from chrysalid
butterflies to whirligig beetles-- and an exultant celebration of
life.
