An Animal Poem for Every Day of the Year
Categories: Children's Books, Literature & Fiction
This 2025 anthology, edited by Jane McMorland Hunter and published by Batsford, offers 366 poems about animals, one poem per date in a leap year. Arranged by month, the selection ranges across centuries of poetry to contemporary voices and takes in creatures of every kind, from household pets and farm animals to birds, insects and wild beasts. Short enough to read a poem at a time, the collection follows the turning seasons and the animals that come with them.
