Ant eaters, goats, rattlesnakes and woodpeckers -- there's a poem for every animal in this lively collection of word play poems. Unfortunately the rhymes and the subject matter just go on and on with little respite or variation. After a while, it's hard to concentrate and the verses just become background noise.
