Illustrated by
Amit Trynan.
"The moon is bright, the ice--just right, / for skating with some friends tonight." These twenty-four light poems celebrate all kinds of action: from dancing and hopping to diving and puddle jumping. Some of the verses are uneven in quality and awkward to read aloud, but Trynan's bright acrylic illustrations, featuring energetic and colorful frogs, aptly reflect the action of the poems.
