McNaughton, Colin

Wish You Were Here (And I Wasn't): A Book of Poems and Pictures for Globe Trotters

61 pp. | Candlewick | March, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-0271-X $$16.99
(3) 4-6 McNaughton's poems call for a certain sense of humor, but those readers who can follow his allusions to such works as Treasure Island and "Waltzing Matilda" will have a fine time. Less sophisticated readers can still enjoy themselves as they reflect on their own experiences, mirrored in "Are We Nearly There Yet?" and "I Feel Sick!" Comical illustrations round out this generally amusing collection.
