About the Author:
From Booklist:
*Starred Review* The collaborators’ third illustrated poetry anthology, following A Poke in the I: A Collection of Concrete Poems (2001) and A Kick in the Head: An Everyday Guide to Poetic Forms (2005), presents poems that beg to be read aloud. The universally strong poems, expertly tuned to both the anthology’s theme and its young audience, include classic and contemporary selections by well-known poets, from Lewis Carroll to Janet S. Wong. Loose categories for one, two, three, and more voices suggest ways to share the poems, and there are also bilingual poems, limericks, tongue twisters, and nonsense verses. Working in paint and brightly patterned cut paper, Raschka interprets the words with exuberance and sly wit, combining atmospheric, expressionistic details with representational figures that will draw young readers back to the poems’ subjects and themes. In Rebecca Kai Dotlich’s “Where Lizzie Lived: A Haunted Tale,” for example, an undulating swirl of gray ends with a woman’s face and deliciously amplifies the shivery lines: “Rotted floors / grumble slightly as we’re walking. / Do you hear Miss Lizzie talking?” Walt Whitman’s “I Hear America Singing,” bordered in beautiful, joyful images, closes this superbly noisy celebration of language that’s sure to convert even the most reluctant poetry readers. Grades 4-7. --Gillian Engberg
