Illustrated by
Beth Norling.
Herrick's impressionistic poems add up to a portrait of a good-natured Australian sixth-grade class and their Bob Dylan–singing, bell bottoms–wearing teacher. Even those pieces concerning familiar kidstuff delineate carefully nuanced characters. Cumulatively, slyly, the poems reveal the kids' growth and the developing relationships in the classroom. Norling's drawings in the manner of a twelve-year-old illustrator have quirky, cartoonlike flair.
