The Beauty of the Beast,Poems from the Animal Kingdom,Prelutsky,Meila So HC/DJ. Poems compiled by Jack Prelutsky (Children's Poet Laureate) illustrated by Meila So The Beauty of the Beast Poems from the Animal Kingdom Synopsis follows: First published in 1997 and unavailable for three years, this ALA Notable Book of 200 poems for animal lovers is now being reissued. Culled by Jack Prelutsky from the works of more than 100 highly acclaimed poets of the twentieth century, here is a poetic parade of the animal kingdom that ranges from the lowly earthworm to the majestic whale and just about every creature in between. Some of the poems are playful and funny; others are insightful and thoughtful--but all are brief and fun to read aloud. Whether by Ogden Nash or Seamus Heaney, William Carlos Williams or Marianne Moore, the striking images of each poem are captured in the deft brushstrokes, sure sense of color, and lyrical compositions of Meilo So, a brilliant young watercolorist. The Beauty of the Beast is a big, joyous book offering lasting value. Altogether, it is a beautiful gift for the whole family to treasure, grow with, and cherish. Complete with author and title indexes. This 102-page hardcover is in excellent condition . ALL pages are crisp, clean, and sturdily bound; the dust jacket shows a little wear, but the beautiful book itself does not. (It has a really pretty cover -- please see photos 4 & 5.)
