Book of Animal Poetry (English-Chinese Edition, 7-Volume Set): 200+ Poems & 100+ National Geographic Photographs

Book of Animal Poetry (English-Chinese Edition, 7-Volume Set): 200+ Poems & 100+ National Geographic Photographs

Seven Themed Volumes — New Life, Big Creatures, Tiny Creatures, Fliers, Swimmers, Odd Ones and Noisy Ones — Pairing American Children’s Poetry with Stunning Wildlife Photography, Plus a Travel Edition
This is not a single picture book, and it is not a standard poetry anthology. It is a seven-volume boxed set built around a simple pairing: poems about animals, and photographs of the animals themselves. The poems come from American children‘s poets—J. Patrick Lewis, the editor, is a former U.S. Children’s Poet Laureate, and the collection also includes work by Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, and Jack Prelutsky. The photographs come from National Geographic’s archive, over a hundred of them, showing creatures in the wild as they actually live. Each slim volume takes one theme—new life, big animals, tiny animals, fliers, swimmers, oddities, and the noisy ones—so you can open any one and start reading. A separate travel edition is included for reading on the move. If you want a beautiful, bilingual introduction to animal poetry for young readers—rather than a single collection or a text-only anthology—this is it.

Detail

This book has serious pedigree. Published by National Geographic and edited by J. Patrick Lewis — the U.S. Children's Poet Laureate, often called the "Oscar of American poetry" — it brings together over 200 short, playful, and memorable animal poems. Paired with 150 high-definition wildlife photographs taken by professional photographers, every page delivers a visual punch — creatures that fly, crawl, swim, and everything in between.

What makes this edition special is its Chinese-English bilingual format. Chinese on the left, English on the right. Kids absorb natural English expressions while enjoying poetry. Parents report that children voluntarily pick it up daily, learning animal words by pointing at the pictures — almost without realizing they're learning. Upon its U.S. release, this book won widespread acclaim, named a "Best Poetry Book of 2012" and an "Amazon 5-Star Children's Book".

Who it's for: Families with kids aged 3–12 (read together or independently), parents looking for English exposure, animal and nature lovers, and anyone who wants to own a beautifully produced photography poetry collection.

Quality assurance: Officially published by Henan Science and Technology Press, 2nd edition, 47 full-color pages on high-quality art paper. Officially licensed National Geographic content — not a knockoff compilation.
