Countdown to Summer: A Poem for Every Day of the School Year

190 pp. | Little | July, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-316-02089-3 $15.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Ethan Long. These one-hundred eighty poems cover everything from school librarians to the tooth fairy to holidays across the religious spectrum. Though the bold line drawings are purely humorous, some of the limericks, cinquains, and acrostics include musings about loneliness, Hurricane Katrina, and other serious subjects. Verses ranging from effectively pithy to undistinguished give a broad picture of what poetry can be.
