Soup for Breakfast: Poems and Pictures

(2) K-3 In this collection of fourteen poems, Brown demonstrates his inventiveness, whether pondering painting on toast ("Blueberry jam / makes a beautiful sky") or the tendency of cats to lie perfectly flat in hot weather. Several pieces are amusing, while others inspire without preachiness, sparking a creative response in readers. Acrylic paintings fill each page to the edges, offering much to pore over.
