| Michael Strickland has once again assembled a roster of poets whose voices sing the joys of music. Like its companion volume, Poems that Sing to You, this jumping, thumping, and cymbal-crashing collection takes young readers "way down in the music." Way down in the music there is the place where four lads from Liverpool meet canoe dancers from Jamaica; it's where you'll sing "The Cuckoo Song" and "The Song of Wonder." This celebration of music and dance includes poems by John Ciardi, Eloise Greenfield, Eve Merriam, X. J. Kennedy, Richard Wilbur, Monica Gunning, and Jane Yolen, among many other distinguished poets. |
