Beautifully done illustrations that seem both watercolor and collage at the same time. It doesn't exactly define poetry, but it would spark a good discussion about what it is.

This book is beautiful on so many levels. First, Micha Archer is a brilliant artist. I was lucky enough to receive a packet called “My Collage Techniques” along with a copy of the book. It chronicles the steps that go into making the art found within these pages. It consists of making her own stamps, stamping with cloth and acrylics, screeding (pulling a thin layer of pain across a colored piece of paper), laying tissue paper, punching/cutting holes, painting with water based oils, cutting and adjusting, and finally laying and gluing everything. And voila! A beautiful illustration. Second, I love that it focuses on different aspects of nature. Micha Archer’s artwork shines light on a spider and its web, a squirrel and its tree, chipmunk and its home, and other animals and aspects of nature in Daniel’s park. In addition to the artwork, the poetic words pay homage to all sorts of beauty in nature. Finally, the writing and poetry in the book add to the beauty of the artwork.

I really liked the illustrations in this book and the texture that they used to create them. It is a great book and discusses that poetry can mean different things to everyone that reads it. It is cute book that would be great for 7 or 8 year olds. It can also be used to learn about readers interpretation and emotion of stories.
Gorgeous, gorgeous book. I was so intrigued by the illustrations, which seem to have real depth to them. The story is beautiful as well, and could easily be used classes to have them share poetry they find.
