Noisy Poems for a Busy Day

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lori Joy Smith. "Riffle-rustle, / feet down-pound. / Another day / has rolled around! / Yeah!" Thirty short poems follow kids through a day: from early morning routine to a romp in the "gurpy-slurpy" mud to a squabble at the park to nighttime "dazzle-dreams." Pencil and digitally colored illustrations add clever, delightful details, but the similarly patterned poems' repetitive over-hyphenation grows tedious.
