LITERATURE
Worth, Valerie

Peacock and Other Poems

(1) K-3 Illustrated by Natalie Babbitt. Babbitt's illustrations, minimalist in form but not in impact, match the incisive delicacy of Worth's twenty-six poems. Worth's inspiration lies in finding beauty in the ordinary; her genius lies in her ability to communicate that vision in precise, original imagery. These are not just skillfully crafted, clever poems but pungent, thoughtful, often philosophical commentaries.
