Oh, No! Where Are My Pants? and Other Disasters: Poems

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Wolf Erlbruch. Fourteen poems speak to childhood's darker side: how it feels when a friend moves away, or a pet dies, or you miss the ball in a big game. The first-person poems make it easy to identify with the situations and emotions. The child-centered illustrations effectively use expanses of space to convey the isolation of the narrator, or the immenseness of his or her feelings.
