Hi Helen!
Yes we do have some books of poetry on animals. Here are a few books:
-Animal Poems by Valerie Worth
J 811.54 Worth
-A crossing of zebras : animal packs in poetry by Marjorie Maddox
-Animal mischief : poems by Rob Jackson

All these books are filled with poems about animals. I will add them to the list on the Poetry Post where the titles will link to the catalog. I hope this helps! You can visit the library if you want more help on choosing a book. :)
