Wise Up! Wise Down! A Poetic Conversation
From mediocre verses about literary characters and politics to consistently shoddy rhymes, this poetry collection is an optional purchase. For updating children’s collections, stick with Chris Harris’s engaging poetry titles.

How to Say I Love You: Delightful Poems for Valentine’s Day
This gift book for Valentine’s Day misses its mark by combining impassioned classic poems with frivolous original ones. Not recommended.
Grace Notes: Poems about Families
An essential purchase for middle/junior high school and teen collections. This may not be a high-circulation item, but it will be a lifeline for astute poetry lovers.

Asking for a Friend
Ultimately this sweet novel reads like an old-school afternoon TV special. It’s realistic, if a bit cheesy, light entertainment with an obvious and hopeful message.
One Time
This is a deceptively simple ballad to creative writing. Like Creech’s own Love That Dog with a nod to Roald Dahl’s Miss Honey from Matilda, and Jerry Spinelli’s Stargirl, this book spotlights an inspirational teacher with a passion for thoughtfulness and words, and the children who thrive in this creative collaboration.
Darius the Great Deserves Better
Khorram again presents an artful tapestry of sci-fi fandom, Persian culture, soccer, racism, sexuality, depression, family crises, a love triangle, and endless amounts of global teas in Darius’s compelling story. Despite all of the seemingly disparate elements, this is a seamless and profound YA novel with a memorable and endearing main character.

Feel the Fog
Unfortunately, fog is not as dazzling as fall leaves, flowers, or freshly fallen snow, so this series title is not as visually appealing as the others overall. However, this book should be considered for weather studies collections or for language arts lessons in alliteration.
PREMIUM
The Truth about Butterflies
A worthy addition to collections where the “The Truth About Your Favorite Animals” titles or the author’s “Flying Beaver Brothers” graphic novels are already enjoyed.
PREMIUM
That’s Life!
Sure to be a choice for 2020 graduation gifts, this sweet but greeting-card stock story offers an alternative to Dr. Seuss’s Oh the Places You’ll Go.
