K-Gr 5–Bransfield’s third collection of concrete poems, after
Splish Splash and
Flicker Flash, introduces readers to the many landforms and geological features of planet Earth. Beginning with “Fantastic Forces” and “Continents,” which provide simple background information for the ever-changing topography of our planet, the poems that follow describe everything from mountains and plains to chasms, archipelagos, and hoodoos. Regardless of the subject in question, each poem has been carefully crafted to fit within its shape. Bold text and illustrations work together seamlessly, keeping readers engaged and eager to turn the page. Garcia’s bright colors and aptly applied details fill the full-page digital spreads with wonderment. Back matter includes additional information about each feature, an approachable glossary of terms, and an enticing page of additional resources to explore.
VERDICT An excellent introduction to our awesome planet for novice geographers and poets alike.
