Dark Emperor is a clever book of poetry and also non-fiction information about animals of the night. Sidman pairs poetry about an animal (i.e., a snail, spider, owl, or a porcupine) with a whimsical illustration by Rick Allen. Then, beside the illustration, appears information about the animal and its habits, habitat, and physical appearance.
Dark Emperor is an excellent interdisciplinary mesh of science and language arts that would be a solid addition to any elementary classroom.
