"This rocks." — Kirkus Reviews (Flicker Flash) "A vivid fusion of ingenious concrete poetry and boldly colored graphics that celebrate the many shapes and forms of light. This one dazzles." — School Library Journal (starred review) (Flicker Flash) "There are so many ways to celebrate light, and Graham sings many of them in this collection of shaped, rhymed poems. This will bewitch readers with both sound and shape." — Booklist (Splish Splash) "A colorful collection of poems about water and the particular ways children may come in contact with it -- from ocean waves; to rain, hail, and dew; to steam and ice. . . . An enjoyable introduction to poetry that will also be a boon to teachers taking a whole-language approach to science units. A fun and useful purchase." — School Library Journal (starred review)
