For example, the painting that illustrates the poem about the planet Neptune includes a cutout picture of a mosaic of the god Neptune’s face, the top of a trident, and a small ancient sailing vessel. Many include symbols, objects, and words related thematically to the subject of each poem.
The illustrations, done with gouache, collage, and rubber stamps on primed brown paper bags, are bold statements.
Each of the book’s illustrations spans a two-page spread-and every two-page spread contains one poem printed in large size text. It comes in the same large square format as all of his books of animal poems. Yes, that poem about Pluto was taken from Douglas Florian’s new book-and COMETS, STARS, THE MOON, AND MARS is a fine poetry collection. Leave it to a children's poet to keep up with the planetary times.
