Moxie Day And Family is a rollicking compendium of poetry showcasing the lyrical talents of Robert Pottle, buttressed by the energetic line drawings of Jonathan Siruno. While enhanced with 15 pages of "Poetry Bug" comic strips that amusingly teach young readers about various poetic forms and terms, the primary character is five-year-old Moxie Day and the various poetic forms employed in more than fifty lively poems. I Think I'll Leave My Snowsuit On: Last night I didn't sleep so well./I tossed and turned all night./This morning I was snoring loud/and drooling, what a sight./Woke up to see the bus outside,/waiting in the snow./My sister said, "Hey, snore-o-saur,/come on, it's time to go!"/Put on my snowsuit, boots, and hat/in a hurry scurry dance./Got to school, my faced turned red;/I forgot to put on pants!
