Description
Description
Nature is beautiful! It's magnificent! It's amazing! And it's also super gross!
Fourteen hilariously icky haiku present the grosser side of nature. Check out flamingos that keep cool by pooping on their legs. And butterflies that emerge from oozy caterpillar soup. The haiku are accompanied by additional facts that will delight--and disgust--readers of all ages.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Offers a crowd-pleasing angle on both nature and poetry."--Kirkus Reviews
-- (2/12/2024 12:00:00 AM)"Brunelle and Patton explore a side of nature that is no less awe inspiring, but rather pondering the beauty of nature, they dig into the disgusting, gross, and sometimes weird aspects of the world around us. . . The pencil-drawn, digitally colored illustrations bring to life the zany weird facts of the text with humor. Reviewer Rating: 5"--Children's Literature
-- (4/8/2024 12:00:00 AM)"Brunelle subverts this normally staid 17-syllable Japanese poetic form in this collection celebrating nature at its grossest."--Booklist
-- (4/15/2024 12:00:00 AM)"While haikus and ickiness may not seem like the most obvious pairing, this book uses revolting facts to provide a surprisingly engaging dose of science."--School Library Journal
