Nest Library Classics Fall 2000 selection.

REVIEWS
" Widener's exuberant acrylic paintings capture the joys and hopes expressed in each of the poems.
A multicultural cast of boys and girls engage in sports activities, perform onstage, and enjoy the outdoors.
Their elongated arms and legs seem to be in constant motion and make an interesting contrast to the
rounded shape of their faces. This collection clearly celebrates its child readers.

"The bright, foot-centric artwork, brimming with fanciful, stylized shapes, plays up the diverse speakers'
exuberance and energy, though the pictures work best when paired with a poem on a white background."
