Predator and Prey: A Conversation in Verse

Susannah Buhrman-Deever

Short poems introduce predator-and-prey pairings and trace the tension of a hunt, whether the hunter succeeds or the intended prey escapes. The poems take several forms: some appear beside one another, while others use two voices. A science note on every page explains the adaptations creatures use either to capture food or avoid being captured. Watercolor and gouache illustrations accompany the verses, and a bibliography provides additional sources.
