Hopscotch Love: A Family Treasury of Love Poems

40 pp. | Lothrop | January, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-688-15667-3 $$14.95
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Melodye Benson Rosales. This slight collection includes verses about African-American characters experiencing different types of love. Included are poems about crushes on the opposite sex, a child's-eye-view of loving family members, and love between friends. Some subjects would seem to appeal to pre-teens, others to younger children, making it hard to know what audience the book is intended for. Realistic paintings accompany the poems.
