Beautifully
illustrated with glossy full-page photographs, this poetry book will find an audience with elementary students who enjoy squirrels. Even
though the poem was originally published as "Whisky
Frisky"
in 1871 by Alexina B. White, a few new versus and other minor changes have been made to create this newer version by Susan Lurie. Along with
these changes, the poem is also brought back to life with present-day photographs by Murray
Head. Students will love the pictures
and rhyming verse. While it may appear that most squirrels just play, students will be
able to see firsthand that they also work to create nests, find homes and food,
and escape from danger.
Teachers can use this title to show students how to write simple words to create poetry. Students can use the book for casual reading, as well as consult its format for writing poetry.
