K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Melanie Hall.
Two brief poetry collections bring seasonal spirit to the beginning-reader genre. With the poets including Lillian M. Fisher, Rebecca Kai Dotlich, and Hopkins himself, each volume collects twelve poems, all short and mostly rhyming but with a lyric quality often scanted in poems for the newest readers. Warm-toned full-page illustrations accent the verses without overwhelming them. Review covers these I Can Read Book titles: Christmas Presents and Hanukkah Lights.
