A nonfiction picture book of poetry about fascinating insects with accompanying facts, notes, and illustrations by the Caldecott-winning Melissa Sweet. Pray tell us, Mr. Mantis, Do you pray or simply prey? Do you scout about for victims Or fold your hands all day? In addition to the playful rhyming poems, the supplementary text highlights surprising facts about bugs of all kinds—from familiar ants to exotic dragonflies, cringe-worthy ticks and magnificent fireflies. Melissa Sweet’s collage-inspired mixed-media illustrations beautifully render these creatures and compliment the poems’ whimsical tones. This is an enchanting and informative look at a perennial topic of interest for kids—cool bugs! A Christy Ottaviano Book

Poetry. Women's Studies. Melanie Janisse-Barlow's second book of poetry, THICKET, is a treatise on the risk and uncertainties of language in the modern world. In poems that gather and collect force page after page, THICKET negotiates humankind's overwhelming desire to communicate, and the discomfort that comes with the process of entanglement/disentanglement. When Janisse-Barlow writes of a "thousand awkward conversations," she's working away at the knots of language, unraveling and recombining the threads to create self-styled lyric essays. THICKET is a linguistic tour de force.
