But many people who are none of these-including people still in elementary school-will find much in the book to enjoy. -- Julia Mickenberg Review 19 A fascinating collection with relevance in many areas of the curriculum... These poems gathered in this very attractive, illustrated and accessible edition, are a delight. -- Frank Startup School Librarian A comprehensive, engaging collection...
