K-Gr 4-Attenborough has compiled a wide range of poems in this diverse volume. Some are simple enough for kindergarten, others are more suited in theme and length to older children. Some are familiar, some are fresh, some are funny, some are serious, and all are well chosen. The interesting variety includes selections by St. Francis of Assisi, Bob Dylan, Emily Dickinson, Jack Prelutsky, and Mother Teresa, among many others. The selections are divided into 10 sections, each with a theme such as words, emotions, friends and family, or nature, and each one is illustrated by a different artist. Bright cartoons predominate, but some of the artwork is delicately done in ink and watercolors. Some pictures are powerful, but most are humorous and exaggerated. They are all shapes and sizes, making the page layouts lively, but the colors are so blindingly bold, and there is such an abrupt change from one illustrative style to another that the overall effect is jarring. The poems themselves are the best part of the production. At the end of each section is an effusive meditation that directs readers or listeners to lie or sit in a quiet place; breathe deeply; and imagine lovely scenes of nature, explore one's emotions, send out a web of love, purify one's thoughts, and generally feel wonderful during and after this experience.-Patricia Pearl Dole, formerly at First Presbyterian School, Martinsville, VA (c) Copyright 2010.

Including work by well-known poets as well as such pop-culture icons as John Lennon and Bob Dylan, this anthology (probably peripheral to most library collections but of interest to some families) encourages young readers to explore their inner lives. Each of the ten sections is illustrated by a different artist and ends with a meditation designed to invite children to practice imaging and breathing techniques to develop their ability to find inner peace and solace.

《书目》(Booklist)书评
Gr. 4^-6. Children will delight in the play of words and images in this unusual anthology, featuring such diverse writers as Maya Angelou, Russell Hoban, Myra Cohn Livingston, Emily Dickinson, Bob Dylan, and St. Francis of Assisi. Poems are grouped into evocative sections dealing with themes ranging from family and brotherly love to the nature of time. Each section ends with a meditation meant to be presented by an adult, allowing children and adults to explore together the emotions aroused by the poems and to share experiences. The illustrations, contributed by various artists, are vibrant. Sometimes fanciful, sometimes somber, sometimes serene, they always reflect the various moods of the pieces. Many of the selections--among them, Bobbi Katz's "Cat Kisses" --are sure to bring a smile: "Sandpaper kisses / on a cheek or a chin--/ that is the way for day to begin! / Sandpaper kisses--/ a cuddle, a purr. / I have an alarm clock / that's covered with fur." --Shelley Townsend-Hudson
