Compiled by the late Mary Ann Hoberman, poems from previously published books, plus eight new poems, celebrate creatures of all kinds. Pencil and watercolor illustrations by Marla Frazee imagine the menagerie of animals and insects as guests at a retro-style resort complete with a large crew of attentive squirrel bellhops. Clever wordplay animates animal antics, like the havoc wreaked by mole (shown inconveniently popping up on a miniature golf course): “Look for the humps and the bumps and the lumps he strews out behind him. . . and then go and find them.” The nearly 70 poems, with perfectly matched visuals, offer young readers a refreshing vacation from prose.
