Fun book

I enjoy browsing through DAYS TO CELEBRATE. The book is divided into twelve "monthly" sections. Each month has a calendar full of facts both poetry and non-poetry related. Each month's flower, birth stone, and zodiac sign are given. Within each month's section there are four to seven poems related to that month in some way. (It might be a holiday of that month. It might be the poet's birthday month. It might be a historical event being celebrated, etc.) My favorite poem, by the way, is Arithmetic by Carl Sandberg.
