Review of
All About the World: Poems and Rhymes,
selected by Sylvia Karavis ISBN 0763567388
Five out of five stars
Simple poems easily understood
This book is a collection
of short poems about basic things in the world, some real and some utilizing stretches
of the imagination. There is one about a mighty sneeze, another about a crocodile
lying in wait for prey, there is one about life on a sampan and the one titled,
“Who Has Seen the Wind?”
The prose is
simple and in large size and each is at most two pages in size, which is at
most 16 lines. The images are also large, so all aspects of the poem can be
seen from some distance away. This is an excellent book to be read to groups of
children, for there will be no need for them to bunch up tight so that all can
see.
