What Shapes an Ape?

What Shapes an Ape?

by Gina Douthwaite (Author)

Synopsis

Six o'Clock Fox C opper coat ablaze, tail brushing stubble, he stalks, pauses...picking paws he pricks signal ears, directs wet pebble eyes beyond his twitch of whiskers. Freeze-framed, he holds the moment, then sweeps to streak towards the swelling sun. From deadly dinosaurs to jealous jellyfish, these ingenious poems tell intriguing tales in shapes and words. Packed with poignancy and wit, wacky typography and animals galore, this unique collection is the perfect springboard for budding shape poets of all ages!
