This beautifully illustrated book
contains fifteen poems about the joys of reading and libraries through the eyes
of a child. “My Card” by Cynthia S. Cotten explores the power of the simple
looking library card. In “Enchantment” by Jane Yolen the subject is excited
about picking out books “all by myself”. In “Librarian”, Joan Bransfield Graham
wonders how the librarian is so skilled at matching readers to books. Other
poems cover the wonder of poetry, reading with a favorite pet, and the library
after hours. A lovely addition to a poetry collection.
