Customer Reviews

thoughtful and honest child's view of his world

As a poetry teacher, I was delighted to find "Nathaniel Talking" at the library. It is rare to find fun and readable poetry about contemporary children that is also honest and serious. I loved Nathaniel! He raps, mourns his mother, views his father as a hero, ponders how heavy the weight of the world must be and still remains childlike. Well, done Ms Greenfield! The illustrations, as in "Night on Neighborhood Street" are wonderful. I hope that the publisher will make "Nathaniel Talking" available for purchase again soon.
