Illustrated by
Anne Hunter.
In each verse of this evocative poem, the speaker describes an experience--sleeping outside, holding a snake, nursing a baby bird--and ends with the question, "Have you ever done that?" The next speaker responds with a different experience, until the poem ends with an invitation to participate in nature's wonders. Hunter's illustrations, their simple shapes accented by crosshatching, add mystery and drama.
