Would you help a tiny fragile snake? Fifteen poems explore close
encounters with animals ... and choosing to respond tenderly.
Whether it's helping a hummingbird escape, respecting a bear's
habitat, admiring a heron's beauty, or giving way to ants at a
picnic, the human response in these poems is to do no harm, and to
help whenever possible. The poems follow a seasonal progression,
ending with a final poem that imagines where each animal might be
on a winter night. Inspired by personal experiences, Nicholas
Ruddock's poems are simply written, with a pleasing rhyme, and fun
to read aloud. In the spirit of the text, Ashley Barron's cut-paper
collage illustrations portray each creature with respectful
realism, in environments ranging from rural and wild to urban and
suburban. A delightful dip into poetry for young animal lovers! Key
