Picture Poetry On Parade!
by Joseph Sottile
ISBN-10: 1591134951
Review by Heather Froeschl
Picture Poetry on Parade is a humorous collection of poems that every school aged kid can relate to. Covering topics such as how to not make friends, brothers, sisters, teachers, dads, having to go to school and so much more.
Along the lines of Shel Silverstein, Joe Sottile has a good grasp on the viewpoint of kids and he's not afraid to show it. There are also poems where he offers the same subject from the view point of adults and kids and these make for funny comparisons if not friendly reminders to parents that we sometimes need to chill out.
The artwork is simplistic and kid friendly, just right for the accompanying text. The collection is a cute addition to a child's library and will be a well-checked book at school libraries, everywhere.
