(3) K-3 Poetry Adventures series. Illustrated by Andy Rowland. In this installment, Cleary introduces the perennially kid-friendly concrete poem. The twenty-three poems and accompanying illustrations acquaint readers with the form: e.g., "Orange or blue and full of helium floating up to reach the ceili-um" is in the shape of a balloon. This amusing collection invites young readers to play with both the sound and visualization of words. Reading list, websites.
