(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Istvan Banyai. Pen-and-ink illustrations with an antic spirit illustrate a batch of previously unpublished poems for children by the American literary giant Carl Sandburg. The nineteen brief verses present ordinary objects--eggs, ears, buttons, pencils, and chairs--in a fresh, quirky manner. Sandburg's poems remind us that the obvious is worth revisiting and the world's imponderables are worth pondering.
