Illustrated by
Lee White.
Viorst's collection of over fifty poems expresses wry humor about and sharp observation of the range of feelings children experience in their everyday lives. Subjects include school, friends, and family; the strongest poems go to the heart of feelings (such as the one about breaking up with a best friend). White's illustrations bring zany humor, and even sometimes add their own little twist.
