Wonder: The Natural History Museum Poetry Book by Ana Sampson is a
beautiful collection of poetry with poems inspired by The Natural
History Museum. Covering everything from the depths of space to the
centre of the earth, this beautiful collection includes poems about
the solar system, planet earth, oceans and rivers, birds,
dinosaurs, fossils, wildlife, flowers, fungi, insects, explorers
and palaeontologists. Each section includes an introduction to the
topic with insights into particularly interesting species. The
museum has a collection of over eighty million objects and, behind
the scenes of its twenty-eight galleries, it holds kilometres of
preserved specimens, libraries of rare books and artworks, wonders
gathered on some of the most famous voyages in history, rooms
packed with pressed plants, warehouses teeming with stuffed animals
and freezers full of DNA. As well as a museum, it is a
state-of-the-art centre for discovery with over three hundred
resident scientists and over ten thousand visiting researchers each
year, investigating everything from dinosaurs to life on other
planets. This collection is made up of brand new and classic poems,
illustrated with botanical drawings and engravings from the
museum’s collections. This fantastic collection speaks of the
wonder of nature and shows us why we need to look after our
incredible planet.
