A Meal of the Stars: Poems Up and Down

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Tricia Tusa. Arranged vertically, one word per line, these fifteen poems are meant to be read from bottom to top, or vice versa. Readers clamber up the verse to muse on subjects such as rockets and stars, and down to observe earthbound dandelions and a waterfall splashing on rocks. Tusa's fanciful watercolor and ink illustrations give Jensen's appealing verse an imaginative boost.
