Why read it?
1 author picked Summersaults as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love wordplay, and Douglas Florian is a master. His poems are short, fun, and well-crafted. He also illustrates his books, in a style that is sketchy, childlike, and textural. When I need a bit of lighthearted inspiration for my own poetry, Florian always delivers. He has written dozens of books, but his book about summer called Summersaults captures the essence of his style. Here’s a delicious sample:
"A Summery"
June: We seeded.
July: We weeded.
August: We eated.
From Bob's list on children’s poetry that also appeals to adults.
