Lee Bennett Hopkins has collected thirteen perfect poems from many poets writing for children that celebrate the imagined wonders of being able to fly. Lee Bennett Hopkins has collected thirteen perfect poems from many poets writing for children that celebrate the imagined wonders of being able to fly. Each is presented on a double page spread and is brightly illustrated by lovely paintings that capture the essence of the words and allow the readers to relate to the magnificent treasures discovered by these poets.
From beginning to end, these poems range from the donning of wings to their replacement in the wing box ready for the next night╒s flight. The book ends with very brief biographical information about each poet. This would be a wonderful read-aloud to introduce children to the wonders to be found in their imagination. Ogintz, Susan
