Recensioner i media

"Marvelously crafted to inspire blooming writers." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"Alexander and Nikaido cleverly integrate alliteration, similes, allusions, and wordplay to model for young writers what a poem can look and sound like. The buoyant text provides ample sensory imagery and nudges readers to look, listen, hear, feel, touch, speak, and then write, offering a guide for the process of observing, imagining, and putting it all down in words." — Horn Book Magazine"A highly welcoming invitation to write that makes clear poetry is for everyone—reader and writer alike." — Publishers Weekly"An exquisite guide that inspires and encapsulates the essence of poetry." — Booklist (starred review)"Both a teaching tool for writing poetry as well as an ode to poetry itself. Highly recommended." — School Library Journal (starred review)
