Despite the fact that there's a pug on the cover, I have to admit, I liked Animal Poems better than Pug and Other Animal Poems, but not by much. Not only is the poetry in this book dripping with gorgeous language, but Steve Jenkins's paper cut-out illustrations feel so three-dimensional that they almost jump off the page. Other than the pug, the bengal tiger is my favorite illustration in the book. It is so complex and full of texture.

Delightful poems about a variety of animals, some more personal others detached. The illustrations add such impact.

Although this book does contain some good examples of different poetic devices, I felt that it was a very average poetry book. The illustrations add some draw, but I thought that the poems themselves did not have any real grabs towards younger audiences. I could see a child being interested in this if they really loved animals.

I'm not usually a huge fan of poetry, but I loved this book! Granted, the poetry was definitely outshadowed by the amazing illustrations, but they were still enjoyable.
