“I'm the no-no bird,/ That's right, that's me./ I live up in/ The Tantrum Tree./ I'm the no-no bird,/ I won't say why/ I stamp my feet/ And shout and cry.”
Hurray for childrens' poetry. Boo hiss for moral lessons disguised as childrens' poetry (tantrum tree sounds and no no sounds like it might be wanting to TEACH ME A LESSON.)
RK, CS: I have not read the book yet. But I am intrigued. Writing a children's poetry book (a hip, edgy and non-didactic one, I hope) is on my life list.

ReplyDeletei *love* this book so much--the pictures are absolutely delightful and my fave is the one about picking berries!
