Reviews

[Michael Beyer · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very fine book of poetry for younger children. As a veteran reading teacher of 31 years, I would like to offer insight into what makes this book good.
The most important feature are the beautiful illustrations that picture the contents of each poem. These pictures are lovingly created by a gifted artist and give it a bucolic feeling that kids, especially girls would find engaging. Having taught ESL students trying to learn English, the pictures are very useful for matching what is being said in English to what it looks like in a picture.
The poems are not Robert Frost or Emily Dickenson, but they provide colorful and descriptive information about feelings and observations related to the seasons.
One of the finest poems, "Fishing with my Dad" has a rhythm and rhyme to it reminiscent of Dr. Seuss, with a cleverly phrased ending. And while most of the poems are not particularly memorable, they do provide some complex phrasing and challenging word choices that will help young readers improve comprehension and build vocabulary.
So, from a teacher's perspective, I applaud this lovely poetry book.
