I hesitated to assign a star rating to this book as I didn't even read all of it. Much as I wanted to love this book, I just found it frustrating. The concrete poetry, while interesting, is presented in such a way that I found it very hard and annoying to read--in the grass, in the clouds, in the trees, all over...

Though none of the subjects in these limericks grimericks are from Nantucket,
(most of them appear to be from the cemetery)
you'll enjoy spending quality time with these rhymes.
(And eye-balling Grimly's mini-masterpieces, done in the most putrid shades of graveyard-gray and slimy...
AuthorMarilyn Singer
One of my favorite books of the season this year.

Ivan the Terrier
AuthorPeter Catalanotto
ISBN1416912479
The cover is great, and the title, 'Ivan the Terrier' makes the deep down pun-loving part of myself giggle. (I think his name is up there with my favorite literary dog name - Nate the Great's pancake guzzling counterpart - 'Sludge'.) I think the art in 'Ivan' is a little wavery - some pages are better than...
