In honor of PaperTigers’ 10th Anniversary, Cathy Mealey (who blogs at Bildebok), sent us a photo of lovely tiger drawn by her 9 year old daughter Grace. Grace’s “Carrotiger” was inspired by her love of children’s poet laurerate Jack Prelutsky’s book Scranimals, illustrated by Peter Sis (Greenwillow Books, 2006).
We’re sailing to
Scranimal Island,
It doesn’t appear on
most maps….
Scranimal Island
is where you will find
the fragrant RHINOCEROSE,
the cunning BROCCOLIONS.
And if you are really, really lucky
and very, very quiet,
you will spot
the gentle, shy PANDAFFODIL.
(You may even hear it yawning
If the morning’s just begun,
Watch its petals slowly open
To embrace the rising sun.
