K-3All Aboard Poetry Reader series.
Illustrated by
Adrian Sinnott.
Five longish story poems concern a perpetually hungry skeleton, a werewolf baby born to human parents, and the plight of a feckless phantom in today's busy, noisy world. The poems are generally engaging (even when the meter occasionally falters) and have a comical quality shared by the amusing black-and-white illustrations.
