Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Lee Bennett Hopkins has teamed up with award-winning illustrator Tomie de Paola to compile 32 pages of short, jolly poems--mostly on the fireworks, parade, and picnic level--about the traditional celebration of America's Independence Day. They cull from such diverse poets as Carl Sandburg, Lucille Clifton, and Stephen Vincent Benét. Hopkins's own contribution, "Fireworks," is explosive: "They / crash and / bang and / burst and / clang and / boom and / blast and / shake and / quake-- / No wonder / my ears / are beginning / to ache!" De Paola's cartoonish illustrations splash whimsically from the bold red, white, and blue pages. (Age 6 and older)
