By: Ted Kooser, Connie Wanek | Illustrator: Richard JonesCelebrated poets Ted Kooser along with Connie Wanek, and illustrator Richard Jones, explore figures of speech in a spirited and magical way—and invite our imaginations out to play.
A freewheeling romp through the world of imagery and metaphor, this quietly startling collection of thirty poems, framed by the four elements, is about art and reality, fact and fancy. Look around: what do you see? A clown balancing a pie in a tree, or an empty nest perched on a leafless branch? As poet Connie Wanek alludes to in her afterword—a lively dialogue with former US Poet Laureate Ted Kooser—sometimes the simplest sights and sounds “summon our imaginations” and cry out to be clothed in the alchemical language of poetry. This compendium of the fleeting and unexpected turns the everyday—turtles, trees, and tadpoles; cow pies, lazy afternoons, and pillowy white marshmallows—into poetic gold. A brilliant and timeless collaboration that evokes both the mystery and grandeur of the natural world and the cozy, mundane moments of daily life, this exquisitely illustrated collection is the go-to gift book of the season for poetry fans of all ages.

Very good book
Format: Paperback
My son borrowed the book from local library, he kept reading and became very interested in physics. He asked me to buy one so he could read it anywhere anytime. We are very satisfied with this book.

Really great basic/intro to physi
Format: Paperback
Purchased as a birthday present for my very smart 14 year old grandson. The book gives simple discussions about most basic elements of physics. I’m hoping it is not too simple but not too complex. First look tells me I made a good choice. I may buy another one just to have around the house for other grand kids. I’ll give an update after he gets into it a bit.

Looks good so far!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I’m a high schooler who has ADHD and I needed resources to clarify the material I learned from my classes. I’m also a visual learner, and this is AMAZING for my mode of learning. I flipped through the book and I’m literally so hyped to get into it. The illustrations are so cool. Never have I felt this excited to actually learn. Thank you Barron’s! I really hope they make more books like these for all subjects.
I will update y’all if I find anything in the book worth noting as I read through.

Interesting and informative
Format: Paperback
Seller gave an honest evaluation on condition of the book and it was received several days earlier than promised. I took Physics in college but wanted a quick review of some of the principles. The illustrations are good and take the place of a Physics lab, helping the reader to visualize the subject being discussed. The reader will have to look for a high school book to go into more depth, but this is great for an introduction or review of the subject.
