Hidden City: Poems of Urban Wildlife<\/strong><\/em>
\nby Sarah Grace Tuttle; illus. by Amy Schimler-Safford
\n48 pages; ages 4-8
\nEerdman\u2019s Books for Young Readers, 2018<\/p>\n

In the night<\/em>
\nunder the table<\/em>
\na mother mouse<\/em>
\nscurries back and forth\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

From the mouse in the house to weeds in sidewalk cracks, Sarah Tuttle offers a close look at the wildlife sharing our cities. There are birds \u2013 lots of birds, snails, and insects galore. Bats, cats, and sign of skunk. All shown through the lens of poetry.<\/p>\n

What I like about this book<\/strong>: I like that Sarah uses poetry to give us a way into observing the lives of our wild urban neighbors. There\u2019s a fun poem about the courtship dance of pigeons \u2013 I can almost see them strut, turn, and dip as they try to gain the attention of the ladies. I like that the poems take us through the seasons of city living. And I really like that Sarah has included back matter \u2013 more facts about the wildlife that she\u2019s introduced in the poems. I also like the artwork: collage landscapes and garden scenes.<\/p>\n

Head over to Archimedes Notebook\u00a0<\/span><\/a>for some more books about our wild neighbors and a handful of Beyond-the-Books activities.<\/span><\/p>\n
