About the Author:
From Booklist:
Rebecca Kai Dotlich has written more than a dozen children's books, including Lemonade Sun: And Other Summer Poems, and IRA-CBC Children's Choice, and Castles: Old Stone Poems, co-written with J. Patrick Lewis. She lives in Carmel, Indiana.
Karen Dugan has worked on more than twenty-five books, eight with Boyds Mills Press, including If I Had a Snowplow by Jean L.S. Patrick and Tea Party Today: Poems to Sip and Savor 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
