Ambitious successor to bestseller 'I wish I were a bird'. Another beautiful gift book, this time with 366 animal poems and spectacular illustrations by the internationally award-winning Britta Teckentrup. After the overwhelming success of 'I wish I were a bird', we are extremely pleased and proud to now announce 'A wonderful animal'. This richly illustrated poetry anthology contains 366 animal poems by Dutch and Flemish poets - one for each day of the year, including leap day. Britta Teckentrup's breathtaking illustrations take the reader on a journey through the animal kingdom.
