Baseball, Snakes and Summer Squash: Poems about Growing Up

The poems in this book are wonderful. Reading them makes me remember my own childhood.

Wonderment of Childhood

Donald Graves' poetry book, "Baseball, Snakes, and Summer Squash" recants the follies and joys about growing up. While simple in thier construction, the poems express adequately all the dimensions of being a kid; from school to hating squash. Graves claims he wrote some of the poems specifically for boys to identify with, but don't be fooled, this gem is applicable to all. VERY usuable in the classroom and with children - a must read.
