Honey, I Love And Other Love Poems
by Eloise Greenfield, Illustrated by Jan Spivey Gilchrist

Riding on a train, listening to music, playing with a friend…each poem elicits a new appreciation of the rich content of everyday life. The poems are accompanied by both portrait and panorama drawings that deepen the insights contained in the words.This beloved book of poetry is a Reading Rainbow Selection and the winner of George C.
