Close your eyes and imagine yourself in the forest. What would you hear? What would you smell? It might be a skunk or a tree full of birds. It also might be a badger in love? From silly to serious, this book of poems will take you outside into a wild forest somewhere.

There were many present the night Jesus Christ was born. Mary, The Donkey, The Innkeeper, Joseph, The Three Wise Men, The Angel, The Shepherd, The Lamb, and even The Star were all present. The author gives homage to each and every one through a two page spread vividly illustrated and a short poem written in the character's voice. This holiday book is sure to become a treasure both children and adults can relate to.

The story of Jesus is portrayed in a simple and touching prose format. The book celebrates the gift of Jesus and beautifully illustrates his life from the day of his birth until his days as a carpenter, and then as a grown man and Savior. Children will understand the story of Jesus through the wonderful illustrations and simple prose.

This book is a wonderful introduction to Emily Dickinson, great American poet, as seen through the eyes of her nephew, Gilbert. The story highlights some well-known aspects about Dickinson, such as her love of nature and her reclusive way of living, as well as a few of her poems. The drawings capture a bit of what life may have been like in Amherst, Massachusetts in 1881.

What kind of weird things live out in space? Are there man-eating trees? Giant birds with seven sets of wings? The poems in this book explore the galaxy with humor and a great sense of imagination. The pictures are what really knock my socks off, they are so vivid!

If you like Shel Silverstein's poems, I think you will like this book of poems too! These short little poems are very funny and sometimes gross. I like to read them out loud to my friends to make them laugh!

This book is more of an illustrated poem or lullaby than an interactive picture book. Filled with hopes and good wishes for a baby girl, the pregnant mother appears to be the narrator. Lovely flowing pictures accompany the book, though it should not be recommended for those who have a short attention span.
