From School Library Journal
Grade 4 Up-- Twenty previously published poems about poetry by 18 modern poets. Merriam's ``Inside a Poem'' gets pride of place, followed by celebratory insights from the likes of Eleanor Farjeon, Karla Kuskin, Nikki Giovanni, Mary O'Neill, and Jack Prelutsky. Zalben's small-figured watercolor illustrations illuminate the pages--especially when they feature a quilt or a richly colored textile pattern--but often copy images directly from the poems without elaboration: below X. J. Kennedy's ``A jumbled sight,/ The sheets I write!/ High time for paperclips/ To take a bite/ And grip them tight/ Between bright bulldog lips'' is a picture of two bulldogs, a scat tering of paperclips, and a small pile of crumpled paper. Although Goldstein ends with John Farrar's double-edged ``Now, often when I'm wakeful/ I count a million sheep--/But poems are far, far better/ For putting kids to sleep,'' in general the sentiments she has collected are simple, inspirational expressions of the joys of writing and reading poetry. An easy prelude to books such as Janeczko's The Place My Words Are Looking For (Bradbury, 1990) --John Peters, New York Public Library
