Around My Room

William Jay Smith has gathered in this volume twenty-nine of his poems that have a special appeal for small children. Such all-time favorites as "The Toaster," "People," "Polar Bear," and "Seal" are here, together with a number of new and uncollected pieces. All are delightfully illustrated by Erik Blegvad. In this winning collaboration, pictures and poems alike demonstrate the enduring wit and charm of two masters whose work has charmed and amused young readers for over four decades.Poetry for first readers
