Synopsis
Dazzling wordplay sets young imaginations spinning. Rebecca Kai Dotlich pays poetic tribute to things that shake or slap, whoosh or whirl, swirl or spill in this captivating book of verse. With charming illustrations by Karen Dugan, these twenty-three poems sparkle with clever imagery and crackle with dazzling wordplay. Here's a remarkable collection by a gifted poet.

From Booklist
PreS-Gr. 2. Dotlich has fun with the sounds of words, and reading aloud these short rhythmic lines will make kids find poetry in ordinary things, from a pencil sharpener that "whittles and whirs," and ice cubes "mixing, scrambling / changing places," to a crushed soda can in the wind "tin-tumbling its way / down a dark / city street." The big, bright, jolly illustrations occasionally take over, but the young audience will enjoy seeing girls and boys like themselves shrieking on a roller coaster, and then quietly ironing a shirt ("Glide up. / Slide down. / Ride around / the buttons"). A nice companion to Mother Goose nonsense, this exuberant physical romp is grounded in realism and the joy of language. Hazel Rochman
