A humorous and poignant collection of poetry for children of all ages in the vein of Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes and Edward Lear's nonsense poems.
“Delightfully fun. . . . Small moments of contemplation elevate the book, making for a compilation that's both joyful and thoughtful." —Kirkus Reviews
"Poets Geri Lipschultz, James Berger, and Diane Stevenson have collaborated on a lively book of children’s poetry titled Did You Kiss a Cat Today???. Here, a remarkable sort of nature figures prominently: the sky as a “blue-black bed”; a conversation between a tree and its leaves; “a lonely-looking owl / (sitting) alone on a limb”; flower-eating rhinos and mammal-chasing dinosaurs; even an ornery little walnut. It’s the natural world as seen through the lens of a child’s imagination: unruly, colorful, and full of contradiction.” - Tucker Coombe (Terrain.org)
Written by three accomplished poets, Did You Kiss A Cat Today??? speaks to how smart children are and their sly sense of humor. This fresh anthology conjures a child's world with irrepressible freshness.
Did You Kiss A Cat Today??? shows young people that everything can be a poem. Sometimes poems tell a story with made-up words, or they're short lines that beg to be read out loud. Poetry can be true and serious and fun, and that's the magic of this book.
Perfect for a funny bedtime read aloud or as a class read along, Did You Kiss A Cat Today??? will delight children and adults alike. Includes stickers and space to write your own poems at the back of the book.
