★ “Crisp and concise, with internal rhymes and alliteration, these poems beg to be shared and read aloud. Freedman’s illustrations complement and add whimsical details, including a stargazing penguin and a scaly, red dragon glimpsed amidst a jumble of blocks…Thoughtful readers will relish the figurative language and imagery, and pore over the well-crafted illustrations. An excellent resource for teachers looking to inspire students in an array of topics, from science and nature studies to creative writing.” —School Library Journal, starred review
★ “Set within 12 ethereal ‘rooms,’ 29 poems contemplate the wonders of Earth, sea, sky, and beyond…The poets infuse their verse with vibrant, child-accessible imagery….This slim volume teems with STEAM extensions, from exploring poetic forms and devices to investigating scientific facts and hypotheses. A beautifully conceived invitation: to look, see, wonder.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Twenty-nine poems in a lovely mix of forms and styles populate this book, presented as a ‘house’ with twelve double-page-spread ‘rooms.’…Freedman’s intriguing mixed-media illustrations use wide washes of color in shades of blue, green, gold, or purple with subtle hints to the objects
referenced in the poems.” —The Horn Book
