Dark Emperor & Other Poems of the Night by Joyce Sidman

Welcome to the night, when mice stir

and furry moths flutter.  When snails spiral into

shells a orb spiders circle in silk.  When the roots of

oak trees recover and repair from their time in the

light.  When the porcupette eats delicacies - raspberry leaves! - 

and coos to its mother.

Come out to the cool night woods, and buzz and hoot and howl -

but beware, for it's wild and it's windy way out in the woods!

I Heard if from Alice Zucchini by Juanita Havill

From the still chill of a winter night to the

ra-ta-ta, ra-ta-ta, ra-ta-too of a lively

vegetable stew, these twenty whimsical poems celebrate the joys of 

a garden from start to finish.  a tour de force of imagination,

I Heard if from Alice Zucchini invites you to join in the

Pea Pod Chant, wander through the Rhubarb Forest,

dance with the Dainty Doily Dill Weed, gossip with Alice Zucchini, 

and hold your breath on the pumpkin's enchanted evening.
