Wilbur: The Opposite of Poetic Dullness

This is an utterly charming book that grew out of a game Wilbur played with his family in which each member had to name the opposite of a specific term. The rhymes seem effortless, never strained, and Wilbur has illustrated the thing himself with a series of simple but effective drawings.Recommended for poetry lovers of all ages.
