January Rides the Wind: A Book of Months

Rating:
Summary: January Rides the Wind
Review: This is a wonderful book of poems. Each month of the year is described by a poem. The poetry is rich with metaphors, which enhances the reader's images. This can serve as a useful tool for introducing children to metaphors. Each poem has a (two-page) colorful, lifelike illustration, which captures the unique feeling of each month. The children in the illustrations are from different racial backgrounds. Although this book is intended for children it can be enjoyed by all. I highly recommend this enriching and colorful collection of poems.
