Hundreds of animal species provide the cast of characters for these
newly composed bio-limericks, arranged into 17 chapters by
taxonomic group (such as Birds, Fishes, Insects) or biological
subject (such as Ecology, Genetics, and Anthropology). Sometimes
multiple verses on one organism or topic provide an extended
story-line across successive poems. In addition, several stylistic
vignettes recur throughout the book, such as: (a) "On the Farm",
which ranges from barnyards to fish farms to oyster farms; and (b)
"Let's Play Jeopardy", where the reader guesses an animal from
poetic clues the author provides. Each little jingle can be read as
a stand-alone offering a quick chuckle or biological insight. But
watch out-these poetic tidbits can be as addictive as popcorn, such
that some readers will feel compelled to consume each chapter and
indeed the entire book at one sitting! Covering nearly every
creature that any amateur or professional biologist has ever heard
of, these pun-filled limericks provide humorous insight into each
critter or its peculiar habits, in a sharply witty and cutely
informative way.
