Illustrated by
Mary Kurnick Maass.
Twenty poems cover a range of familiar subjects, from pets to seasons to mermaids. The poems feature unforced rhymes and a tone of merry bemusement: "Wind" contains the lines, "it comes with a flutter / it goes with a gust, / it comes when it will / and it goes where it must .. . ." The lighthearted illustrations show a cast of kids and animal characters.
