Customer Reviews

Hasty haircuts and other kid-sized calamities

This review first appeared in the "Ephrata (PA) Review." Calamities every child can identify with-a friend moving away, homesickness at camp, not catching the fly ball that gives the other team the game-are bemoaned in this compendium of 14 light-hearted poems, each by a different poet. The caricature illustrations are Calvinesque-little kids with big expressions, often bewildered or discomfited, on their faces. This is a good book for kids who delight in words and who can identify with those awkward and awful moments of life. ... May they be few and far between!
