Today’s poetry picture book fascinated me with a look at both the North and South poles. I don’t know how I missed it!

I admit that I still haven’t read all of the poetry picture books by David Elliott that I want to so there may be more to come in future posts. But who can complain? Each book in this series (animal series? habitat series?) shares a wealth of wonderfully crafted words and illustrations. This book, AT THE POLES, is no exception. While David writes the poems, illustrator Ellen Rooney uses a multi-media approach that is stunning. I had an incredibly difficult time picking just one poem! I loved the Polar Bear and Narwhal poems too. Yet the words and image of the poem I picked remained in my brain long after seeing them.

Once again, I share a closeup of the poem, then a picture of the full spread so you can see it in its full glory. And it is truly glorious!
