Marylin Hafner.
Represented in this zippy gathering of short poems are many well-known contemporary poets, including Eve Merriam, Lucille Clifton, X. J. Kennedy, Dennis Lee, Aileen Fisher, and Valerie Worth. The overall tone is appealingly lighthearted and playful, and the poems' brevity makes most easy to memorize. Colorful, ebullient illustrations adorn every page and capture the spirit of the verse.
