K Up-- A wide-ranging collection from sidhose musings go from chocolate to pickles; and other notable poets, such as Langston Hughes, Lucille Clifton, and Gwendolyn Brooks are represented in these 19 selections. Cooper's illustrations have the same glowing colors anewalk and rope-skipping rhymes to poetry, all celebrating the African-American experience. Eloise Greenfield, who writes with equal passion about the spirit of Harriet Tubman or the proper way to catch a fish; Nikki Giovanni, wd skillfully drawn faces and figures that have become familiar from his other books. They complement each poem with shades and composition that enhance the mood of the words. Many of the entries have appeared in the individual poets' own books, but putting them together has made this a collaboration with a powerful and singular voice. The endnotes about the contributors, as well as Hudson's introduction, round out this effort, making it a strong choice for most collections. --Jane Marino, White Plains Public Library, NY (c) Copyright 2010.

出版社周刊评论
Like Bernie Fuchs's illustrations for Ragtime Tumpie , Cooper's painterly, sun-drenched portraits for this collection are as rich and varied as the verses themselves. A potpourri of poems by Gwendolyn Brooks, Eloise Greenfield, Nikki Giovanni and Langston Hughes is interspersed with works by lesser known writers. Although some selections focus on experience unique to African Americans--such as Countee Cullen's ``Incident,'' about an eight-year-old who is called ``Nigger''--many of them deal with the common experiences of children of all races--eating chocolate, jumping in a puddle, taking a bath. Unfortunately, not all of the poems and illustrations are equally well chosen or designed. Occasionally two incompatible paintings are joined confusingly in the book's gutter, faces seem distorted, and dark backgrounds make the text hard to read. Despite these caveats, the warmly textured illustrations for ``Dream Keeper'' and ``Harriet Tubman,'' together with the expressive faces on the cover, will insure that the culture portrayed is--as intended--``passed from one generation to another.''

Hudson has thoughtfully selected a wonderful collection of poetry for children, written by African-American poets. Reflecting a variety of themes, both serious and fun, the poems reaffirm the child's special place in the family and African-American culture. Cooper's rich, colorful illustrations are well matched to each poem. The verse and pictures will linger in the mind of the reader long after the book has been closed.

Kirkus评论
Chosen for their appeal to the elementary age, 19 short poems, mainly by such standards as Paul Laurence Dunbar, Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks, Eloise Greenfield, and Nikki Giovanni. The majority deal with the universal activities and preoccupations of childhood; a few (most poignantly, Cullen's ``Incident,'' describing a small black boy offering a smile to a white boy on a bus and receiving an epithet in return) are specific to the African-American experience. Cooper's luminous full-bleed oil paintings provide a context for each poem and suggest an identity for its narrator. An excellent resource for extending Black History studies into literature. Thumbnail sketches of the 14 poets are included. (Poetry/Picture book. 6-10)
《书目》(Booklist)书评
Ages 3-8. Cooper's beautifully individualized oil-wash portraits express the energy, the yearning, and the heartfelt emotion of this fine anthology. Hudson has chosen poems by some of the best writers, including Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Lucille Clifton. There are lively jump-rope rhymes and poems of ethnic pride. Most of the pieces are upbeat, singing of love and connection; a few are messagey and sentimental. In contrast, Countee Cullen's "Incident" is like a blow: the simple, intense words shock you the way the racist insult shocks the child in the poem ("Now I was eight and very small, / And he was no whit bigger, / And so I smiled, but he poked out / His tongue, and called me, `Nigger'"); Cooper's unforgettable illustration of the black kid and the white kid on the bus captures the searing confrontation. Just as powerful is the portrait on the next page with Eloise Greenfield's stirring poem about Harriet Tubman ("Harriet Tubman didn't take no stuff / Wasn't scared of nothing neither"). Hudson's brief author notes at the back of the book will help kids to seek out more to read. This is a book for every library, for adults and children to read aloud and read alone. As Lucille Clifton says in the title poem, "pass it on." ~--Hazel Rochman
