Review
D is for the Dinosaur and the Dodo, Symbols of all that have long vanished From the blue and green Ark adrift in the dark.Brian Patten, recognised as one of Europe's leading contemporary poets, and author of classic collections such as Gargling with Jelly and Thawing Frozen Frogs, has here written a poem to planet earth to mark the dawn of a new millennium.
By taking each letter of the alphabet in turn, Patten focuses on the natural wonders of the world, from the creatures who swim in the depths of the ocean to the wonders of the heaven's above and the galaxies beyond. Sian Bailey has illustrated each letter in dramatic, exquisite detail, while each poem is illustrated by a different contemporary artist.
The result of this collaboration is a stylish, thoroughly modern take on age old concerns, written and illustrated in emotive, clashing styles that perfectly capture the essence of the mood of the approaching millennium, highlighting the good and the bad without falling into a maudlin trap.
The Blue and Green Ark would make an excellent gift to mark the turn of the century, and will delight the legions of Patten fans who will certainly not be disappointed by this latest offering. (Age 8 and over) --Susan Harrison

The Blue and Green Ark: An Alphabet for the Planet Earth (Picture Books)
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
