AWARD
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."
