Laura Whipple Livres

From leaping, flying fish to dancing butterflies, and camels that "trollop along," Eric Carle 's brilliant and colorful collage designs bring to life animal poems from such diverse sources as Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll, Rudyard Kipling, Emily Dickinson, and Jack Prelutsky, as well as Bible verses, Japanese haiku, American Indian poems and more. This celebration of the wonder and variety of earth's animals is "joyous...a book to be shared" ( Booklist , starred review).

Whipple's poetry intertwines with Beingessner's vibrant artwork to present a fresh retelling of Cinderella's enchanting tale. The combination of lyrical rhythms and stunning visuals creates a captivating experience suitable for readers of all ages. Full color illustrations enhance the magic of the story, inviting audiences to rediscover this beloved classic in a new light.
