I don't think it's on a par with the rest of her work. I love her poetry. I especially like her book "Any Me I Want to Be." It's a collection of mask poems, which--unfortunately--is now out of print.<BR/><BR/>Jules, <BR/><BR/>I hope you like Toady & Today. I look forward to hearing your opinion of the book.Elaine Magliarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829330276633865868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-40516458469791060262007-07-08T00:55:00.000-04:002007-07-08T00:55:00.000-04:00OOH!

I was a bit disappointed, but mostly because it tilted much younger than I'd expected. I also thought, mistakenly, that it was a collection of poems. I gave the book to Junior's teacher; I could see using it in a poetry unit at school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-61821797961530069032007-07-07T08:26:00.000-04:002007-07-07T08:26:00.000-04:00Jules,I think they're all great books, too!

I have never seen a book of haiku like it. And the Yolen/Fusek book is, in my opinion, one of the best anthologies of poetry for very young children that I have ever read.<BR/><BR/>I hope the fall will bring more fine children's poetry books for us<BR/>to read.Elaine Magliarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829330276633865868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-64375345979004768652007-07-07T00:23:00.000-04:002007-07-07T00:23:00.000-04:00Oh my!

The Yolen/Fusek Peters one is so fabulous (I bought <I>another</I> copy today -- this time for a friend who just gave birth). <BR/><BR/>Great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
