The Alligator in the Closet: And Other Poems around the House

48 pp. | Boyds/Wordsong | April, 2003 | Trade ISBN 1-56397-994-2 $$16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jane Kendall. This collection of poems explores the constant ticking of a clock, celebrates lazing in bed with a good book, and laments the endless supply of garbage that a family generates. The lighthearted rhymes use a variety of structures, and several are written for two voices. Both the poems and the accompanying pen-and-ink and watercolor drawings are pleasantly humorous but not especially original.
