Birds, Beasts and the Third Thing is a collection of poems by DH Lawrence. The artists Alice and Martin Provensen chose the poems and did artwork to go with them. The poems are pretty short. I like the poem about the white horse the best and I like the illustration also. I like the line in the poem "People" that says, "I like people quite well at a distance." That's how I like my people.

Vampires in Literature 809 Heo

Excellent telling of the history of vampires and where these legendary creatures come from. Ideas of vampires have been around for centuries. Novelists change lore to suit their needs for a book all the time. Vampire books are extremely popular and many series of books are becoming tv shows and books.

I think this book is great because it tells you about food and how it was made. They also make fuunny pictures to make it more understanding. At the end they give you a jumprope rhyme to say when you are jumproping.
