"Animals, Animals"

Poem Title: "The Elephant"
Author: Arnold Sundgaard
Illustrator: Eric Carle
Genre: Poetry
Grade level: Pre-k to 2nd grade
Characters: Elephants
Summary: I read one poem from a collection of poetry illustrated by Eric Carle. I admire elephants and enjoyed this poem because it describes elephants as strong and non-aggressive creatures with great endurance. I appreciate Eric Carle's illustration of the elephant because he added texture and depth in a two -dimensional manner.
