Four in All di Nina Payne

Beautiful but not too much else. The book's poem consists of four nouns per page in rhyming couplets. There isn't really a plot--a girl is shown leaving home, but is she playing/imagining, or is this a "real" journey? Still, the rhythm is pleasant and the art is beautiful. Probably best for very young children.

Summertime Waltz di Nina Payne

Surreal art poetry. Appropriate maybe for an art class, but not so much fun to read for young kids.

Four in All di Nina Payne

I dunno. The illustrations were mostly just too dark for me, not metaphorically gloomy but actually *dark* for my aging eyes. The rhyme is fun, but it feels like a playground chant, not like actual poetry. The gimmick overwhelms the sense - everything has to be in sets of four, and chosen to support the rhyme, which means the 'story' has to be painstakingly deciphered. I cannot imagine sharing this small quiet artsy book with an entire class or story-time. It might work for lapsit, in sunlight, with the right reader and audience. It certainly is pretty.… (altro)
