Wonderful Words: Poems about Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening

32 pp. | Simon | March, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-689-83588-4 $$16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Karen Barbour. Fifteen poems about words, one per page or double-page spread, are gathered in this picture book anthology featuring the work of poets from Emily Dickinson to Nikki Grimes to Carl Sandburg. The book's overall tone is serious and reverential, with just a few lighthearted poems relieving the mood. Despite the generous layout, the poems tend to be overwhelmed by the insistent gouache art.
