A collection of poems about growing up in the countryside.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-Thirty-eight free-verse pastorals celebrating boyhood. The poems evoke images of small-town life-baseball, creek beds, fistfights, flirting, eating garden tomatoes, trees, snakes, horses, and shooting a gun. The overall tone is informal and playful yet thoughtful and readers will sense this child's sincerity when he expresses his connection to nature. The impact of several of the selections will linger after the book has been put away. The collection includes several poems for two voices that could be used in classrooms successfully. Black-and-white pencil drawings decorate the book, and while adding little to the poetry, give a nice touch to the work as a whole. An introspective collection that may appeal to poetry-reluctant children.
