Book Reviews of Eric Carle's Dragons, Dragons
Book Review: "companion" to Animals Animals falls FAR short
Summary: 2 Stars
Animals Animals - a richly illustrated, quality book of poetry - came out in 1989. This one followed in 1991. After reading it, I have the strong feeling that Eric Carle was pressured to do a companion volume and hastily threw this out onto the market. The composition of the artwork is not nearly as strong as his other works; in fact, I would go so far as to say that this is his worst book. The selection of poetry is meager and nearly all of the poems are dismissive of the creatures as silly or non-existent. The subtitle of the book is "& other creatures which never were" which put my hackles up right from the start. I don't think any of us have been around for long enough to judge what is "real". Perhaps this is my Philosophy major talking. Anyway, that coupled with the intro which is William Blake, "O! how I dreamt of things impossible" and the conclusion page which is a quote from A Midsummer Night's Dream regarding the "weak and idle theme"... I cannot think of a more dismissive characterization of the rich legends held by many cultures around the world. I was actually offended by this book and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
