Ivy in Bloom: The Poetry of Spring from Great Poets and Writers from the Past
by Vanita Oelschlager
3.8 Stars
I truly admire the author’s attempt to use verses from great poets and writers to create a Spring poem for kids. It started great but then became disjointed midway through. The flow was lost, and my focus was only on the charming illustrations.
After much thought, my rating is as follows (I don’t do this often)-
Thought- 4 stars
Poem- 2.5 stars
Illustrations- 5 stars
And that gives us ~3.8 stars. This book would be perfect for kids who love full-page illustrations. The warm indoors and the white cold outdoors were contrasted very well. Though I love snow (since I don’t see it in my region), I understand the kid’s love for spring. The illustrations of the wild blooms are so, so beautiful!
