Everything Is a Poem: The Best of J. Patrick Lewis (Hardcover)

J. Patrick Lewis did not come under poetry's spell until late in life--but when it struck, the former college economics professor was entranced.This collection celebrates some of his best poems for children--some silly, some serious, some historical, some invention, but all aimed to delight.The vibrant and playful illustrations of Italian artist Maria Cristina Pritelli lend a sense of vitality to the words, underscoring the idea that Everything Is a Poem.
