A childÕs survey of natural history in 100 nursery rhymes, the first half arranged in alternating stressed-alliterative verse and anap¾stic tetrameter, the second half composed in the Classical Greek and Latin meter of Homer and Virgil, dactylic hexameter. Woolly Mammoth and Mastodon stomp through time in trochaic pentameter, while star predators Tyrannosaurus Rex, Titanoboa, Allosaurus and Megalodon roar forth in five feet of iambs. Poem 99 is a special tribute to ancient Greece, composed in the Sapphic stanzas of Sappho.
