About the Author:
From Booklist:
Rebecca Kai Dotlich books include Lemonade Sun: And Other Summer Poems, an IRA-CBC Children's Choice. She lives with her family in Carmel, Indiana.
Karen Dugan is the illustrator of Tea Party Today, an American Bookseller "Pick of the Lists" book, written by Eileen Spinelli. She lives in North Attleboro, Massachusetts.
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
