In the Spin of Things: Poetry in Motion

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Karen Dugan. Twenty-three short, rhythmic poems capture the whirl and whoosh and spin and scramble of familiar objects. Bits of breakfast cereal bob about in milk, pencil sharpeners whir, jump ropes loop around, washing machines swish, and ice cubes swirl ("watch them bounce / and belly flop") in these imaginative and kid-friendly poems. The cheerfully kinetic illustrations will be as appealing to readers as the verse.
