Illustrated by
Mary Kurnick Maass.
Twenty poems cover a range of familiar subjects, from pets to seasons to mermaids. The poems feature unforced rhymes and a tone of merry bemusement: "Wind" contains the lines, "it comes with a flutter / it goes with a gust, / it comes when it will / and it goes where it must .. . ." The lighthearted illustrations show a cast of kids and animal characters.

Illustrated by
Melanie Hall.
This uneven compilation of twenty of Eastwick's poems covers subjects from the fanciful (in "I Asked a Tiger to Tea" and "To Meet with a Unicorn") to the more realistic (in "Summer Rain" and "Falling Light"). The lighthearted verse has appeal, even though much of it isn't especially original. Dreamlike paintings brighten the volume.
