"A stunning combination of poems and illustrations celebrating some of Earth's wildest and most beautiful creatures." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
The stellar team who brought us On the Farm presents a companion book evoking creatures of the wild in simple, clever poems and vibrant woodcuts. From the lion standing alone on the African savannah to the panda in a bamboo forest, from the rhinoceros with its boot-like face to the Arctic polar bear disappearing in the snow, David Elliott's pithy verse and Holly Meade's stunning woodcut and watercolor illustrations reveal a world of remarkable beauty and wonder.Author Biography
