In the Wild by David Elliott, illustrated by Holly Meade
Elliott chooses familiar animals from the wild – elephant, panda, sloth, zebra – and effectively catches their personalities and innate capabilities in short, meaningful poems. Meade’s accompanying woodcuts cleverly round out the double-page spreads.
