Illustrated by
Quentin Blake.
Blake's loose illustrations and Rosen's often free-verse poetry are well matched in this compilation of four themed collections. The poems and stories highlight ordinary moments at breakfast, the seaside, the doctor's office, and bedtime, and occasionally venture into flights of fancy. Readers comfortable without traditional structure may enjoy these slices of life.
