Books Make Good Pets
Par John Agard. 2022
Books make good pets and don't need going to the vet.You don't have to keep them on a lead or…
throw them a stick.They'll wag their words whenever you flick their dog-eared pages.Even howl an ancient tale for the inward-listening ear.Did you know that a book can take you anywhere? You only need to turn the pages of a story, and in a moment, you and your book could be crossing the waves in a pirate ship... or diving with mermaids... or even snoozing with a dragon.Books really DO make good pets! Why don't you peep inside this one, and take your mind on an adventure?This delightful original poem is the perfect listen for anyone who delights in the magic of a good book. Agard's evocative, lyrical style is perfectly performed by him in this audiobook, transporting the listener into an enchanting world of imagination.(P) 2022 The Watts Publishing Group LimitedRappy and His Favorite Things (I Can Read Level 2)

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.The Animals Come Out

… 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.
