Twenty poems written in a variety of verse patterns describe a class's experiences on a field trip to a historical village. Though they don't always reflect the mood of the poems, the cartoonlike watercolors are appealing. Colonial-period words--breeches, gooseberry fool, spontoon, etc.--are explained in context or in the glossary.
