Amazing things happen when giants write and illustrate for young people. --Starred, Kirkus Reviews Children will love the sounds of the rhythmic lines, and Briggs' scattering of small black-and-white drawings perfectly captures the tiny details in the words. -- Booklist Briggs's stellar ink, mostly realistic illustrations suffuse the sections for younger children, where animals and family are the subjects, and become sparer for longer narrative poems. An important addition to any . . . poetry collection. - School Library Journal Lucky are the children who receive this collection, for they will experience the world through the exquisitely tuned words of Ted Hughes. -- The Horn Book
