Review

Do you like concrete poems? This book is one 278 page long poem that tells a wonderful story about a 12 year old girl, her little brother, and her family moving to Maine. Her parents like to volunteer their children to help.... more often then they would like. This includes a very "mean" old lady whom they are not to be disrespectful to. The city kids are asked to take care of a scary pig, a mean cat, a parrot, a snake that eats the mice off her roof, and a very stubborn Belted Galloway cow. This turns into a "love" story of different generations, and learning about differences. I recommend this book for both younger kids because of it's easy reading, and older kids for analyzing poetry and relationships.

Overall Book Score: very good
