More Beasts (For Worse Children)

A delightfully odd collection of verses, this book invites listeners into a world where curious creatures speak in witty rhyme. From a philosophizing python that needs a doctor for its eyes to a scorpion that prefers the darkness of night, each animal is presented with a blend of playful facts and gentle moral nudges. The poet’s voice is both mischievous and affectionate, turning ordinary zoological quirks into memorable, sing‑song lessons.

The verses weave together humor, imagination, and a subtle critique of adult seriousness, making the work a charming companion for listeners of any age. Whether it’s a loping llama from the Andes, a frosty mammoth whose skin must stay intact for the perfect soup, or a tiny microbe that only a microscope can reveal, the poems celebrate the wonder of the natural world while reminding us to treat its inhabitants with kindness. A perfect choice for anyone who enjoys clever rhyme, quirky observations, and a light‑hearted look at the beasts that share our planet.
