This is a lovely collection of very short poems about myriad things. There's a wide variety of topics and I was fascinated at the different ways of describing the things. Occasionally, the poem would provide a different perspective, such as how fleas see their world from the back of a dog.

Every year I try to find one book and one CD of music to add to our Christmas collection. I try to find something we will want to read over and over again, or listen to every year.
