false 756816 1 Arnold Adoff manages to climb inside a child's mind, body, and soul to write these poems of seeing, feeling, tasting, hearing, smelling... being. He loosely follows the seasons of the year with verses about the hottest day of the month so far, raking and rolling in fall leaves, the itchiness of a wet wool hat in winter, and a "Spring Saturday Morning":<p> <blockquote> Legs Into Over Alls,<br> Feet Into Socks,<br> Toes Finding<br> Their Places:<br> I Pull My Boots On<br> And Buckle My Rain<br> Slicker All The Way.<br> I Am Ready With My<br> Black Rubber Hat.<br> <p> I Do A Monster Walk<br> Outside<br> Into The Mud.<br> </blockquote><p> Lisa Desimini's mixed-media collages use photographs, paintings, paper, and computer graphics to create exquisitely original artwork that perfectly engages with Adoff's verses. These two collaborated on another wonderful poetry collection called <I>Love Letters</I>. No need to be a poetry buff to enjoy either one of these special books. Go ahead--touch the poems!
