Thirty-six poems drawn from Kuskin's previous collections of verse compose this bright volume. Full of playfulness, verve, and humor, the poems and likable drawings perfectly suit their young audience: "One jay / two jay / kitty got a blue jay. / Three jay / four jay / there isn't any more / jay." Vibrant backgrounds of orange, green, pink, blue, and other cheerful hues call to mind pads of multicolored construction paper.
