A Barnyard Bestiary (Orca, $17.95)
Onagodori Chicken. Blonde Mangalitza Pig. Schwarzhal Goat. David Bouchard's A Barnyard Bestiary (Orca, $17.95) honours once-prized domestic animals. His poems don't only recognize exotic creatures. Also featured are the hard-working donkey, the goose, a border collie and a Shire workhorse. The evocative paintings are by Bowen Islander Kimball Allen. 1-55143-131-9
In The Dragon New Year (Raincoast, $19.95), also by David Bouchard, a grandmother explains the clashing cymbals, blazing fireworks and fearsome Dragon Dance that announce the beginning of the Chinese New Year. It's the noise and fire, she reassures her little granddaughter, that keeps them safe. This is Bouchard's second collaboration with Zhong-Zang Huang. Their first book in the Chinese Legend series was The Great Race. 1-55192-200-2
