each line spell a message), the cross acrostic (in which the message is read
diagonally), and the multiple acrostic (see it to believe it), not to mention
lions, zebras, crocodiles, hippos, leopards, and elephants. Oh, my! Illustrated
with gorgeous full-color photographs, this collection is sure to send poetry
