Beaver, Bear, Snowshoe Hare; North Woods Mammal Poems

Beaver, Bear, and Snowshoe Hare
A combination poetry and science book, this includes poems about 21 animals found in the North Woods.  Poetry forms include: free verse, haiku, lullabies, lyric, narrative, and sonnets, among others.  The information for each animal includes a brief sketch, including their scientific name.  This is the work of two Minnesotans--Cheryl Dannenbring is the author, and Anna Hess is the illustrator.  Although the page layouts could have been more readable in spots; in general, this can be a resource for classes studying Minnesota animals.
