Full Description
Did You Kiss A Cat Today??? was written by 3 poets who applied the skill and sophistication of how they write for older folks and applied it to how we write for younger folks. For one thing, they think children are very smart and have a very sly sense of humor. Sometimes, though, adults overlook this. They don't, and they don't talk down! They've tried to meet children on their level, a level they consider pretty high. Plus, they try not to be too preachy. Poetry is true and serious and fun, and that's the magic they wanted to convey. This book is fresh and exhilarating because even though these poems come from three distinct sensibilities, they do, both individually and collectively, conjure a child's world with its irrepressible freshness. Everything that happens can be the poem. The smallest thing; the largest thing. To tell a story is good. To tell just a piece of a story is good. In a poem, you don't have to finish the story. Sometimes the middle of the story can be best! So, enjoy the poems!"
