Weird? (Me, Too!): Let's Be Friends

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Karen Sandstrom. Forty-four short poems explore the nuances of friendship. The poems, some funny, some serious, recognize and respect the intensity and sensitivity of young relationships; a few of them lean toward preachiness. Side notes printed in word bubbles discuss the craft of poetry and provide jumping-off ideas for writing. The digital line drawings come across a little more juvenile than the text.
