While I was busy writing poetry in April...





...Where the Sidewalk Ends: Poems and Drawings turned 40 and these all turned 50!







(All review copies were compliments of the publisher -- THANK YOU, Harper Collins!)


And this isn't Shel Silverstein, but it could be his first cousin:


Outside the Box

Lots of fun Silvertein-ian verse, with a few really lovely descriptive poems tucked in here and there. This one is sure to be a favorite, both for the kid-friendly poetry and for the fun illustrations.

    I still read Lafcadio to the kids now and then. We especially enjoy the section that describes Lafcadio's growing prowess with the gun, a section that I like to read twice: first, with as few breaths as possible (to enjoy the sound and the rhythm of the words) and then slowly (to savor the absurdity of the images.) :)
