Great story about becoming who you are done in the prose poetry format. Simple poems tell the story of Joseph Paul, named after Joe DiMaggio, and his immigrant grandfather, Papa-Angelo. Papa-Angelo teaches Joseph about life, family, and even, baseball. The bond between grandfather and grandson is wonderfully portrayed. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

A lovely book of haiku poems that shows a young girl as she journeys through a Japanese garden. As she discovers the wonders of the garden, you can count them along with her. The bottom of each page also gives factual information about the item the narrator is currently talking about. Amazingly beautiful illustrations add the perfect touch, capturing the feel of the garden and the excitement of discovery of the girl and your child. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

This self contained poem written by a master poet is deftly illustrated in this beautiful volume. Robert Frost is a poet who could and did speak to everyone. Most memorably, in his evocation of the peaceful charm of snow falling in the forest. The illustrator brings the wintry woods to life with richly detailed, subtly colored artwork. Filled with creatures of all sorts to find hidden among the trees. Elegant and able to withstand time this poem will live long in the hearts of its readers. ~ Reviewed by Jessica Wood
