Editorial Reviews

"A good classroom text for teachers to show and tell how words 'tickle our senses or make images in our heads.'" —Booklist

"Will appeal to reluctant readers and those who are intimidated by poetry. Language-arts teachers will appreciate the writing prompts and may even consider using this book in poetry-writing units." —School Library Journal
