We Love Bugs: 31 Classic Insect Poems for Kids (We Love Poetry)
Par Emily Dickinson. 2013
It seems that every kid goes through a “bug” phase. When your child or classroom can’t resist collecting caterpillars, ladybugs,…
and crickets, this collection of poems makes a fun and educational companion. This book contains 31 poems and nursery rhymes that are perfect for budding entomologists and those who haven’t outgrown their sense of wonder when seeing a spider’s silken web. Familiar favorites like “The Ants go Marching” and “Itsy Bitsy Spider” are joined by poems from English literature’s finest like Emily Dickinson, John Donne, Christina Rosetti, William Wordsworth and more. This book features a fully-linked table of contents and a sprinkling of whimsical insect illustrations.Interspecies cosmopolitanism—understood as an effort to build a pluriversal world in which multiple forms of life can coexist—is all the…
more urgent in a world of already entangled biosystems, multispecies contact zones, and human/more-than-human interfaces. Critiquing the liberal discourse on animal rights for perpetuating colonial hierarchies, this volume argues that imagining a human-animal cosmopolis should be done in dialogue with traditional tribal cultures, which envision animal persons as agential beings, teachers, and relatives of the humans they have coevolved with. Steeped in North America’s Indigenous worldviews, it focuses on such questions as: who are the animals we share our earthly lives with, what can they teach us about ourselves, how can animals guide us toward more sustainable futures, and what are the conditions of possibility of human-animal thriving? This is also the first book-length study of Linda Hogan’s prose and poetry written from decolonial animal studies perspective.Grimwood: the brand new wildly funny adventure – laugh your head off!

Par Susan Vande Griek. 2023
Do you ever wonder what could happen if we all hid away? If we stayed in, we just might see…
… the animals come out! A delightful series of poems describes the many animals that emerge from the woods, the hills and the skies when we are not around. Peek out your window and watch the deer grazing under the streetlights, the rabbits hopping through our vegetable gardens, and the ducks quack quack quacking along the sidewalks. The Animals Come Out was inspired by the wildlife seen in quieted urban areas during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, a situation that young readers may well remember. But this book also encourages readers to be aware that, in fact, we share the outdoors with these animals all the time, and to consider the impact that we have upon them.
