Dark Emperor and Other Poems of the Night by Joyce Sidman

5.0

Wonderful book. I had not heard of it until I saw it on a Mock Newbery list. The poems are wonderfully constructed, the illustrations are fascinating, and the book encompasses animals, plant, fungi, and even the moon. This book could have many applications to use with students. Next time I'm outside at night, I'll be thinking about the many things going on. And, I'd never heard that a "porcupette" was a young porcupine before.
