Join poet Joan Bransfield Graham and artist Nancy Davis in a fantastic exploration of light, and open your eyes to an amazing new way of perceiving poetry."
SPLISH SPLASH
"A colorful collection of poems about water and the particular ways children may come in contact with it -- from ocean waves; to rain, hail, and dew; to steam and ice. . . . An enjoyable introduction to poetry that will also be a boon to teachers taking a whole-language approach to science units. A fun and useful purchase." — School Library Journal (starred review)
