5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderment of Childhood, March 25, 2000
By James Hiller (Beaverton, OR) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Donald Graves' poetry book, "Baseball, Snakes, and Summer Squash" recants the follies and joys about growing up. While simple in thier construction, the poems express adequately all the dimensions of being a kid; from school to hating squash. Graves claims he wrote some of the poems specifically for boys to identify with, but don't be fooled, this gem is applicable to all. VERY usuable in the classroom and with children - a must read.
