Reviews

PreSchool-Grade 1 These 36 original poems are sweet and bland and are accompanied by Anglund's trademarked sweet watercolors of children in old-fashioned clothes. Subjects in the volume such as ``bears,'' ``a little place that I know,'' and ``spring'' have been written about with more originality by many other authors. Anglund's verses offer didactic homilies but not insight (``The birds,/ they do not sing to me, / They sing to life!/ But I may listen! '' or ``Gentle Sister, Little Brother,/ do not quarrel/ . . .for time is brief''). A poem is something clear and uniqueskip this book.
