LEMONRICKS!: New Poems about Popular Sayings

By Jeremy Marque Gerrard

For young children, old children, young adults, and old adults -- Jeremy Gerrard's second publication is a thoughtful collection of illustrations and short "limericks" that give us new poetic takes about popular sayings that seem contradictory. For instance, "Birds of a feather flock together," yet "Opposites attract"? With unique humor and insight along the way, Jeremy Gerrard offers a compelling and accessible display of rhyme, structure, and imagery -- while celebrating the validity of different approaches to some of life's thorny situations. Traditionally, limericks have strict forms, but Gerrard feels no need to be strict, so please enjoy what he calls " LEMONRICKS " -- as well as his colorful illustrations that accompany each one -- as you revisit (and introduce others to) these 16 popular sayings that continue to live on and influence us today. THANK YOU FOR THINKING. THANK YOU FOR READING. THANK YOU FOR BEING.
