Perfect for fans of A Hole Is to Dig by Ruth Krauss and Maurice Sendak, here is a cozy yet witty collection of short poems about everyday objects that will inspire a love of language in readers ages 3-7.
In this inventive collection of poems, author Irene Latham invites readers to take off their shoes and wander around a wide variety of houses, meeting everyday objects with newfound wonder. These short, thoughtful poems are wordspinners—a new poetry form invented by the author that delightfully defines a word by spinning together its sound and function.
Charmingly illustrated by award-winning Amy Hevron, Come In! Come In! is a poetic celebration that young readers will want to savor over and over.
“A series of poems devoted to the concept of home... the vibes are cozy, and the wordplay enticing; children will eagerly pen their own wordspinner verses. Gentle edges, easy shapes, and sherbet colors enliven Hevron’s naive art, featuring a cheery all-animal cast. Verse that will inspire imitation.”—Kirkus Reviews
