Book Reviews of I Must Go Down to the Beach Again: And Other Poems
Book Review: Nicely enhanced with occasional black-and-white illustrations by Judy Love
Summary: 5 Stars
Nicely enhanced with occasional black-and-white illustrations by Judy Love, "I Must Go Down To The Beach Again And Other Poems" is a compilation of very highly recommended and entertaining verse by Karen Jo Shapiro characterized by storytelling, whimsey, humor, and themes that every child can recognize and appreciate. Of special note are the little homages (each of which begins 'With apologies to') citing the established poet and the poem used as a rhythmic template for Karen Jo Shapiro's delightful effort. 'About My Baby Sister' - With apologies to George Gordon, Lord Byron ("She Walks in Beauty"): She wakes up crying in the night,/Which keeps us all up very late./She screams for milk with all her might,/Then spits up everything she ate./Her diapers are a messy sight--/So why does Mom insist she's great?
