Illustrated by
Michael Emberley.
Twelve "very short stories" are presented as poems for partners. Each poem bounces back and forth between readers beautifully, with the rhyming lines distributed democratically between the voices and the unison couplets and quatrains. While readers will probably be too intent upon keeping their places to look much at the illustrations, the art is nicely varied and thoughtfully designed to complement each of the selections.
