Bramer shares a collection of poetry that explores what it feels like to be a child. Inside there are poems of playfulness and understanding as children learn more about the world around them.

Not my favorite book of poetry. Some of the poems had fun word play. I enjoyed the mélange of illustrations that accompanied each poem, but enough of it was a little too out there that I didn't connect to it meaningfully. I’m not sure how one would go about incorporating it into the classroom either, unless you had it as part of a larger collection of poetry books.
