Today's poem comes from Strange Creatures: The Story of Walter Rothschild and His Museum, written and illustrated by Lita Judge.
Walter Rothschild and His Museum
unusual boy
spent time collecting
bugs, birds, animals
loved every creature
dreamed a museum
hired explorers to
collect specimens from
the far corners
of the globe
new discoveries!
beautiful and strange creatures!
crowds lined up to see
the zoological collection
that forever changed
our understanding
of the world's creatures
