"More Beasts (For Worse Children)" by Hilaire Belloc is a collection of whimsical poetry for children, likely written in the early 20th century. The book features playful verses accompanied by illustrations, focusing on a variety of animals and their humorous, sometimes cautionary characteristics. It aims to engage the curiosity of young readers through a mix of cute and darkly comical observations. The content of the book includes a series of verses that explore different creatures, from the Python to the Microbe, each presented with a unique blend of humor and moral undertones. Belloc cleverly provides insights into the behaviors and habits of these beasts, often warning children against mistreating them or highlighting their peculiarities. This playful yet informative approach encourages children to appreciate the natural world and approach it with a sense of wonder and respect, making the book both entertaining and educational for its audience.
