Illustrated by
Lisa Desimini.
This lively, colorful book of poems about itches, walks in the mud, the fuzz on a peach, the drip of an ice cream cone, sitting in a bathtub, and playing in the snow are complemented and extended by mixed-media collages. Adoff's solid imagery and unique punctuation and spacing add to the enjoyment of this book as poetry and art. This is a good choice for reading aloud and for inspiring students to write their own poems.
