Sea Star Wishes: Poems from the Coast

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Erik Brooks. This collection of poetry captures various aspects of life on the seashore, describing marine life, ferry boats, lighthouses, and miscellaneous beach activities. Ode's lyrical poems are charming and for the most part scan, though there is the occasional clumsy line--"We'll find him alone, / clinging to a tide pool stone." Brooks's illustrations match the fanciful tone of the verse.
