A crossing of zebras : animal packs in poetry

Review

This cool and different poetry book uses a variety of poetic styles to introduce packs of animals. Poems address such groups as a tower of giraffes, a murder of crows, a leap of leopards, and a charm of butterflies. The author's note at the end explains to readers the origins of these fun and descriptive terms and assures us that, no matter how surprising, they are very real.
