Poet Spotlight: Douglas Florian

Poet Douglas Florian has written numerous poetry collections for children. We have some of them in our holdings.

• Bow Wow Meow Meow (all about cats & dogs)
• In the Swim (all about underwater creatures)
• Mammalabilia (all about mammals)
• Insectlopedia (all about insects or bugs)

I've only read Mammalabila, but I like Florian's poetry. It's short, humorous, and easy to understand. Mammalabila would pair well with these other poetry collections: Jack Prelutsky's If Not for the Cat and David Elliot's In the Wild.
