What a delightful collection of poems by an incredible author.  Come on in and celebrate the joys of being young and the joys of growing up.

Listen:
Let me tell you
where things stand.
Each day is like fruit
resting ripe in my hand.
Will I sample its sweetness?
Will I toss it away?
Will I let you steal it?
I got one thing to say:
Don't try it,
Don't try it.

SUBJECTS:     Children -- Poetry.
