A Lucky Thing

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Wendell Minor. Graced with humor and rhythmic assurance, fourteen lyric poems invite the reader to imagine small moments on a farm. Although the poems are generally reflective in nature, their robust language rewards reading aloud. Minor's full-page and double-spread watercolors are unnecessary and intrusive, but the poetry is first-rate.
