"These aren't poems to read aloud, but to look at and laugh at together, with young children and especially older readers, who will enjoy the surprise of what words look like and what can be done with them."

Here, in a single extraordinary volume, are thirty poems from some of the world's...

Here you will relish language inspired music; enjoy mischief, suspense, and triumph in the theater; and delight in a surprise (and...
