I can’t remember when I first discovered Leslie Bulion and her work — it was likely Spik-u: A Clutter of Short Verse on Eight Legs. I’m pretty sure I picked this title off the shelf at my favorite used book store and thought, “What the heck is this?” 😂
I read poetry aloud when my son was a baby. He was a terrible sleeper, and reading aloud from this book of children's poetry helped me keep a bit of a grasp on sanity. He's incredibly articulate now (when he's not pretending to be a tiger - he's 5), he asked me if I "would like a precise description of what happened?" yesterday and I'm going to blame the poetry.
The science and poetry combination is so unique! I love it and the illustrations are amazing. It is so important to have a variety of book types in home and school libraries and this is an important one to add.
These books sound perfect for my kids. They love science and animals, but sometimes books don’t present the information in an interesting way and they get bored. I’m adding some of these to my library list!
Firing up my library app now as these sound fab.

Excellent interview! Can’t wait to check these books out!
