This children’s picture book is a collection of poems from famous peoples’ pets. Each spread in this collection of poems contains one poem from a different poet, written in their style, from their pet along with some fun facts about the poet or their pet.

The poetry of this collection is written playfully and whimsically that are both engaging and digestible for young readers. The illustrations that are alongside each poem are adorable as well. 

Even if you aren’t all that familiar with every poet, this is a great introduction to them (and fun tibbits of information about them and their pets!).

Overall, adorable and fun for all age groups.
