From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-- The 24 poems in this volume awaken images that will be familiar to most children--the sounds of a shell, crashing waves, goldfish in a pond, a cat's purr, a piggyback ride. Chandra displays her knack for carefully chosen imagery: "this old cold-blooded creature/ Who wants its wet back rubbed" (fog), or " . . . swollen creatures,/Holding their breath/ While they swim/Dreamily from/ Room to room" (balloons). Soft charcoal illustrations add a sensuous dimension to many of the selections; a colorful dust jacket in eye-catching oil pastels adds to the book's appeal as well. For both pleasure reading and for reading aloud in the classroom, this collection will prove a sound addition to poetry shelves. --Susan Scheps, Shaker Heights Public Library, OH
