Wildlife Friends- Northwest Coast is a whimsical, yet educational book of poetry for anyone who enjoys reading poetry for their own enjoyment or reading to children. The original watercolor paintings of wildlife lend themselves beautifully to the descriptive written words. One can imagine the chipmunks stopping quickly for a water break before scampering off, or the whale preparing to dive deep into the ocean. Cockerham has created a treasured book to be enjoyed from one generation to the next.
