Wild Brunch: Poems About How Creatures Eat

Gr 2-5–By sea, land, and air, wild animals roam our world and eat to sustain themselves in their natural habitats. This book features thirteen different creatures and their eating habits in the form of free verse and ABAB poetry. It could be enjoyed by young readers wanting to learn more about the animal kingdom in a digestible picture book format, or by older readers who can dive into the poetic way this information is presented. Beautiful spreads with large and colorful depictions of each animal, from turkey vultures to aardvarks, make this also a very visually entertaining read as well. The book is broken up by “Swimming Eaters,” “Land-Based Eaters,” and “Flying Eaters” as well as one feature on a “Not An Eater At All.” Back matter includes more detailed profiles on each animal and further reading lists.
