Poems celebrate each month of the year with childlike observations and enjoyment. "January is/when your sled hurries/to the park after school/and flurries you/down/the/hill." Bright colorful illustrations feature a young African American boy at school and at play. This is a visual delight and the poems could carry a classroom through the year and offer models for similar poems.

The poems are wonderful, conveying a sense of joy and wonder for each month of the year. April is especially nice. And in the last poem, "December is when greedy night grows fat..." Great use of figurative language! While most of the pictures feature African American children, there are other ethnic groups represented.
