Grade 3 Up-A collection of more than 50 poems guaranteed to chase away any winter blahs. Each of the book's five sections begins with a piece of Caribbean folklore and is illustrated by a different contemporary artist-Cathie Felstead, Jane Ray, Christopher Corr, Satoshi Kitamura, and Sara Fanelli. Within each section, vibrant words and evocative artwork bring the sights, sounds, and smells of the islands to life-from powerful storms in Alan Smith's "Emily Hurricane" ("She had silver hair/but it was kind of wild,/electricity for eyes/and a crackling laugh") to dazzling markets in Agnes Maxwell-Hall's "Jamaica Market" ("Honey, pepper, leaf-green limes,/Pagan fruit whose names are rhymes"). Agard and Nichols, who collaborated on No Hickory No Dickory No Dock: Caribbean Nursery Rhymes (Candlewick, 1995; o.p.), have once again created an exuberant tribute to one of the world's enchanted places.
