This is a delightful book with poems for every season!

This book is the sequel to the charming anthology, "Pocket Poems." On April 30th of this month, New York City is celebrating their seventh Poem in Your Pocket Day. Everyone is asked to join in the excitement and carry a poem in their pocket. There are many seasonal poems to choose from in this book. Many classic poems and writers are included with a smattering of the newer poets such as Paul B. Janeczko, a man who never thought he would ever be a poet. A few of the poets included are Emily Dickinson, Jorges Torres, Bobbi Katz, Ogden Nash, Benjamin Franklin and many others. Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby. -Langston Hughes (from April Rain Song) In this delightful book there is a poem for every season and every youngster who would like a poem for their pocket. The watercolor illustrations are simple and compliment, but don't overwhelm the text. These short rhythmical poems would be fun to memorize and even more fun to copy and tuck away in a pocket. This is the perfect book to celebrate the month of April, National Poetry Month!
