Wonderful "relief-block prints" by Stephen Alcorn. Tiny edge wear top DJ edge. CONTENT: Readers won't find sentimental odes to new puppies or baskets of cozy kittens here. These 14 poems, inspired by artist Stephen Alcorn's masterful woodcuts, celebrate animals in all their bizarre shapes and fierce wildness. From the bouncy, rhymed couplets of Lillian Fisher's "Camel" ("His body is lumpy, / knees calloused and bumpy") to the single line of contemplative free verse in Tony Johnston's "Iguana," the poems, most by well-known poets, range widely in style and tone. Many assume an animal's first-person voice with powerful immediacy; others are more layered and atmospheric. But each selection centers around physical images of the animals' distinctive movement, body, and personality, often echoed in inventive… Read More

Morrow Jr. Books, 1995. 1st Edition 2nd Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Michael Hague (the great). CONDITION: NO PRIORITY PLEASE. UNREAD, but not perfect, 1995 Morrow Junior Books hardcover (blue boards) & DJ (in mylar jacket), 1st edition, 2nd printing. Adorable and sweet color illustrations by Michael Hague. PROBLEMS: Spot on front board (like a drop of coke) and short "repaired" tear top DJ edge. CONTENT: CONTENT: Part poetry collection, part songbook, this bedtime volume will strike Hague fans as beautiful, others as precious. Hague's images, as always, are both ethereal and fantastical, recognizable by the palette alone (lots of ochre, brick red and moss green), and he creates worlds inhabited as comfortably by fairies and gnomes as by children and their parents. The volume has a self-consciously old-fashioned flavor, harkening back to Brahms and Tennyson and Robert Louis Stevenson, and evoking classic picture-book illustrations, a honeyed melange of Arthur… Read More
