Poetry Friday is hosted today at The Miss RumphiusEffect.
I've shared this book before but
it seemed appropriate and it is one of my favorites. Florian celebrates the season
with eight winter-themed poems. "What I Love About Winter" begins with -- Frozen lakes/Hot
pancakes/Lots of snow/Hot cocoa. And he
acknowledges that it isn't all fun with a companion verse, "What I Hate
About Winter" -- Frozen toes/Running nose/Sloppy slush/Holiday crush...
Water color illustrations capture
the essence of the verses.
