Poetry Friday: Comets, Stars, the Moon, and Mars
Subtitled Space Poems and Paintings by Douglas Florian, this book is a delight to look at as well as to read. The poems are short and clever, the pages full of wonderful cutouts, paintings and collages. Florian includes a good glossary full of information and a bibliography for further reading. Here's a sample from the poem on Pluto:
Pluto was a planet. Pluto was admired. Pluto was a planet. Till one day it got fired.
