Dear Hot Dog: Poems About Everyday Stuff

32 pp. | Abrams | August, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8109-9732-5 $16.95
(3) K-3 In twenty-two free-verse poems, three children share thoughts about objects in the world around them. Subjects include toothbrushes, toes, ice-cream cones, crayons, and pillows. Sensitively observed, the imagery is vivid and childlike: the title poem's hot dog is as "snug as a puppy / in your bready bun." Outlined in black, the loosely rendered illustrations complement the spirit of the verse.
