"Fun for reading aloud, the very short verses in this collection are easy, rhythmic, and immediate… The subjects are child-friendly (“I like mud”) and cover a wide range of feelings and dreams, and the sounds of the words are part of the meaning (“squishing, flying, slinking, thumping”). The anthologists encourage everyone to join in (“Can you move like the words in the poem while you’re saying them?”), and Hall’s clear colorful illustrations never overwhelm the words as they show kids in action… A great choice for sharing in the classroom or at home."
     —Booklist

"Spread across a broad white page or two and accompanied by pleasant watercolor figures and vignettes, the poems come from widely varied poets, familiar and new… This slim volume will provide many moments of reading and listening pleasure."
