Reviews
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Although its title seems to promise moon-kissed metaphors and dreamy rhythms, this collection of lilting verse ventures far beyond its stated theme. It's difficult, for example, to see what a poem about soaring "on borrowed wings/ of Poetry" or another about feeling the "tickle" in a field of goldenrod has to do with bedtime. Among poems dedicated to bedtime and slumber, "Counting Sheep to Get to Sleep" describes rambunctious sheep ("The next time I can't get to sleep/ I'll try warm milk") and "I Don't Believe in Bigfoot" is about not yielding to scary nighttime monsters ("I'm hoping with my fingers crossed/ They don't believe in me"). Spinelli's (Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch) poems are by turn contemplative, funny and sweet, all couched in language easily accessible to her audience. Populated by Mercer Mayer-type children and grinning animals, Moore's (Songs of Summer) colored pencil and watercolor illustrations offer few surprises in an otherwise pleasant volume. Ages 4-8.

Ages 4^-8. The title poem in this collection is evocative; so is the poem about "Rainy Gray Days." Not all are as rich: in fact, there's barely enough here to make a book, and the vivid illustrations can overwhelm the quieter pieces. Perhaps the best one is "Last Summer," remembering a bumpy ride on the deserted beach. Hazel Rochman
