Surprises: 38 Poems about Almost Everything! by Lee Bennett Hopkins

fast-paced

3.0

The artwork adds a lot (and elevates some rather simplistic poems to something actually funny). Not every poem was what I would consider good (like I said, a lot were very simplistic), but others spoke to me with their imagery and form. So it depends on the poem how I'd rate this book. I would say the simplistic ones do outnumber the better ones.

(And to be clear, by simplistic I mean that they don't contain much depth or originality.)
