African Acrostics: A Word in Edgeways

<b>Look carefully! The wild animals of Africa spring to life in clever, lighthearted poems and compelling, evocative photographs.</b><br><br>Inside every acrostic is a secret message, often lurking in the first letter of each line (read top to bottom) . But look out! These acrostics not only follow their subjects to Africa, but they also take the form to a whole new level. Here you'll find the elusive double acrostic (in which the first and last letters of each line spell a message) , the cross acrostic (in which the message is read diagonally) , and the multiple acrostic (see it to believe it) - not to mention lions, zebras, crocodiles, hippos, leopards, and elephants. Oh, my! Illustrated with gorgeous full-color photographs, this collection is sure to send poetry buffs and animal lovers on an armchair safari they'll never forget.
