Excerpt:

...A 2010 writer for Kirkus Reviews described "What’s for Dinner? Quirky, Squirmy Poems from the Animal World" (2011) as an “enriching overview of the natural world spiced with a Dorothy Parkeresque sense of the macabre that children will absolutely relish,” noting that some “poems look at the wildly diverse ways in which organisms lure or capture their prey; still others break down sophisticated concepts like symbiosis and parasitism in brilliantly accessible terms.”

Hauth is also the author of "Night Life of the Yucca: The Story of a Flower and a Moth" (1996).
