Least Things Poems by Jane Yolen Photographs by Jason Stemple Boyds Mills 2003 ISBN# 1-59078-098-1 Boyds Mills hardcover

This book has become one of my new favorites. I have always looked at the finer details in nature, and am always amazed at what you can see if you slow down and take a closer look at what's around you. Capturing these details, however, proved more difficult. My mother developed this idea a long time ago and it took me several years to come up with enough material. My favorite spreads are the dragonfly and the tree frog.

What reviewers have said: "A solid addition to the poetry of science, and the science in poetry, for younger fans of both." -- Kirkus

"The subject matter, the eye-catching photographs, and the brevity of the selections will appeal to younger children. Older children, especially those who are studying haiku, will enjoy the wordplay and imagery... A first purchase with broad appeal." -- School Library Journal
