From an Amazon reviewer – Edward S Spang
My family loved this book! We bought it for my son’s 7th birthday because he loves poetry. The book tells the story of E.E. Cummings’s life through his own poems. So, it’s a book of poetry, a biography, and a picture book all in one. The poems chosen are beautiful, and easy for children to understand. It sparked a lot of discussion about imagery, metaphors, etc. In addition, the pictures are beautiful, and the way the words are written on the page help to bring the story alive (author uses different fonts, and incorporates the words into the pictures). I don’t usually write reviews on amazon, but this book is very special and truly deserves 5 starts!
