Go! Poetry in Motion : Poems

Ready? Get set...GO! This adorable, zippy picture book is poetry in motion! Dee Lillegard's short, snappy poems perfectly capture the unique personalities of all things mobile. There are bikes, trikes, skateboards, motorcycles, motorhomes, fire trucks, taxis, freight trains, airplanes, hot air balloons, ferris wheels, wheelbarrows, skis, sleds, skates--more than thirty-five poems in all. And Valeri Gorbachev's wonderfully busy scenes show these zipping, zooming conveyances piloted and propelled by the cutest collection of critters in helmets you'll ever find. Just right for young picture book listeners, this book works as both a wonderful first poetry book, and as an object identification book.
