A short, sweet book that is written like a young boy's poetry journal for a school class. Of course the English teacher in me loved the idea of inspiring a student to express themselves in poetry. I love that Sharon Creech references all those poems that we introduce kids too in an effort to get them to love poetry. They are the best ones!
I enjoyed reading this book. I'm going to hand it off to my boys and see what they think about it. It was a fun change from what I'm usually reading, and I like books that present their story in a clever way. This is like a poem of a book.
"Maybe he was just making pictures with words..."
Isn't that a great definition of poetry?

Very sweet and looks like something I could read in one sitting. Is that true?
Yes! Like 30 minutes.
