[SR: 3082267], Paperback, [EAN: 9780439405874], Illustrated, Scholastic, English, Scholastic, Book, Scholastic, Scholastic, What is just around the corner?ImaginationDelightLaughterAmazementFunSee for yourself!, Take a stroll through friendly, familiar neighborhoods, where unexpected viewpoints await around every corner. The latest "corn book" from wordsmith and artist James Stevenson (following Cornflakes, Candy Corn, Sweet Corn, and Popcorn) examines the minutiae of the regular old world. Shabby shoes, a fold-up dock, burnt cake, even barnacle-studded flotsam are honored by Stevenson's uniquely skewed vision in this collection of 26 short, illustrated verses about what can be found just around the corner--even in one's own mind. In "Why?" the poet wonders: Why is it... While other people Are thinking about all kinds of Important things... I am thinking about What it would be like To jump barefoot Into an open box Of jelly doughnuts? Readers will thank their lucky stars Stevenson is thinking about such things, and has the wherewithal to share his quirky thoughts with the world. His free verse is truly free, sometimes wandering over into the opposite page to take a peek at his scratchy, relaxed watercolors. Ranging from silly to pensive to acutely insightful, every poem captures an ordinary moment, a run-of-the-mill object, and makes it somehow beautiful.
