BookSpeak!: Poems About Books

32 pp. | Clarion | October, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-547-22300-1 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Josée Bisaillon. In twenty-one clever, amusing, and spirited poems, books find their voices: an index beckons a reader to look up page numbers, a cover shouts out "Please stop! Take a look!", a library book compares being checked out to going on vacation. Buoyant mixed-media illustrations celebrate books as concrete objects while reinforcing their role as springboard for imagination.
