Guinea Pig Town and Other Animal Poems

Description

Squawk! Snuffle! Bark! Roar! Feathers, fins, scales, claws. Running, hopping, crawling, soaring. All creatures are celebrated in this new collection of poetry by Lorraine Marwood.

Lorraine Marwood's titles include A Ute Picnic and Other Australian Poems, Ratwhiskers and Me, and Star Jumps.
