Customer Reviews

Quick, enjoyable read!

This was an easy book to enjoy, even if you are not a big fan of poetry. The poems are short, easy to read, and understandable. The illustrations are simple yet well done, and certainly complement the poetry very well. My favorite feature, however, is the descriptive paragraph that ties each poem to the sculpture it is about, providing information about the artist as well as the location of the work, as well as the artist's motivation. To me, this ties it all together and makes the book not only enjoyable but educational. Very well done, and quite enjoyable to the poetry fanatic as well as the occassional dabbler.

One of a Kind!

Many thanks to Nancy Arbuthnot and Cathy Abramson for their marvelous book Wild Washington, a great combination of art and poetry and a creative collaboration of two intellectual minds. Through Nancy¡¦s lovely poems and Cathy¡¦s beautiful illustrations, I journeyed through Washington neighborhoods filled with amazing wildlife sculptures. I was amused when reading the poem entitled Vietnamese Ox as the authors may not realize that one still exists here in California (I was born in the year of the Ox-º). I definitely recommend this collection to all!

Beautiful treasure featuring animal scupltures in our Nation's Capitol.

Wild Washington is a wonderful guidebook and keepsake. Cathy Abramson has rendered some excellent illustrations of animal sculptures that are found in Washington, DC, and Nancy Arbuthnot's poems will delight every reader. The book provides photographs of DC's animal sculptures, the artists and their locations, along with some insightful information that makes a tour of Washington one to remember. Great for everyone who lives near or plans to visit our Nation's Capitol, this book would be of special interest to families with children. Wild Washington is a must have!

A TREAT AND AN ADVENTURE

This book is a wonderful treat for both kids and their parents. The kids will enjoy the beautiful illustrations and text. Any who live or visit Washington can use the map for a treasure-hunt adventure, where they search for the animal monuments. Parents will be thrilled to read and explaln the poems to their children.
