Reviews
Grade 2-5 Adam Mouse, a self-pro claimed country fellow who thinks in poetic images, is reluctant to accompa ny his adventuresome friend, Junius , on weekly trips to the city. After Adam begins writing his ``thinking- aloud ideas'' to city pen pal Amanda, he agrees to leave the peace of the fa miliar farm just for a day. Among his city adventures is a trip to the public library, where Amanda helps him real ize that he is a poet and that poets are important people. All of the characters are deftly developed, particularly Adam. ``You do make a fellow look twice, Adam,'' says his friend, Junius, upon hearing one of Adam's poems. The spare poetic text is a perfect ac companiment to Adam's poetry, which is interspersed throughout the story. Reminiscent of Randall Jarrell's The Bat-Poet (Macmillan, 1964), this has masterful writing that manages to achieve a charming simplicity while making profound statements about the human condition. It will also be en joyed as a lively animal fantasy. Car oline Ward, Nassau Library System, Uniondale, N.Y.
