The 12 lines of Millay’s 1917 poem provide the whole text for this glorious nature outing. “I will be the gladdest thing \/ Under the sun!” opens the adventure, as the anonymous first-person narrator runs over grassy hills wearing a short-sleeved calico dress and sneakers. The poem can be read literally as realism, but in the illustrations, a fantasy realm grows. When the lines say “I will touch a hundred flowers \/ And not pick one,” a single flower grows to the scale of a sapling. The heads of massive birds peer out from between trees, their eyes intense and just this side of ominous. A forest, from a long view, is shaped like an animal, absorbing (not reflecting) sunlight, even while the narrator’s peachy skin glows with reflected sun. When the poem lets the protagonist “[w]atch the wind bow down the grass, \/ And the grass rise,” the grass becomes a horizontally billowing ocean for the child to windsurf on, standing upright on an enormous leaf, arms outstretched, hair streaming. The illustrations are all full-bleed spreads; each has a different light. Domeniconi offsets acute, scientific-feeling, almost overpowering visual details on flowers and birds against vague, generic skies and distant trees.

A verson that looks like a piece of graph paper has one typed sentence: \"I never really felt like I fit in.\" Could this be because, in the portrait on the recto, the narrator is the only short, obviously porcine-faced businessman of the five who solemnly face viewers (the other four are white human men)? No: at the turn of the page, readers learn that the pig, now dangling upside down in a room full of men and numbers, feels resignation at being Assistant Bean Counter No. 1138 in a place where \"something only matters if it can be counted.\" Wordplay continues around the double meaning of \"count,\" as well as other expressions, always enhanced by the illustrations. It is the art that elevates the book's sparse sentences, with its use of texture, humorous details, and surrealism, all expressed in an autumnal palette. Rushing into a bookstore to escape a thunderstorm, the pig finds both an encouraging, blue-eyed sow-clerk and--yes--books. Their stories may be familiar to readers, but, of course, the artwork portrays all the heroes as pigs. A wolf's shadow--and eventually, an enormous flesh-and-blood wolf (in business garb, of course)--represents the pig's self-defeating thoughts as he strives to release his inner acrobat.

Using Shakespeare's \"Seven Ages of Man\" monologue from As You Like It as his armature, Hopkins has chosen two or three poems for each life stage. The poignant, funny, or thought-provoking poems stem from a range of poets–Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Lewis Carroll to contemporaries such as Janet S. Wong and Paul Janeczko.

The varied selections range from a traditional Nigerian lullaby and works by Walt Whitman and Lewis Carroll to two poems by Hopkins himself. Each stage is represented by three poems and introduced with a mannered yet surreal double-page illustration framed by columns suggesting a theater, as well as the first few words from Shakespeare's monologue that are specific to the segment. The pages with the poems are artistically balanced, featuring text in a small, plain font and one or two illustrations against a stark white background. Each of the illustrations, symbolic in nature, have only one or two small characters placed in a vast expanse of space, exuding a sense of coldness and loneliness that is often in contrast to the tenderness of the poems; \"Act Four's War\" is particularly heart-wrenching. Though somewhat slight, this is thought-provoking, beautifully designed, and enjoyable.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        –Randall Enos, \u003cem\u003eBooklist\u003c\/em\u003e , December 2013\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n    \u003cdiv class=\"book-review-body\"\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        Like the old man's house, Shakespeare's \"Seven Ages of Man\" speech is \"a world too wide\" to be well-served by this paltry selection of 21 poems, three per \"age.\" Hopkins tries to inject some color into the mix with Walt Whitman's \"When I heard the learn'd astronomer,\" Elizabeth Barrett Browning's \"How do I love thee?\" and Lewis Carroll's \"You are old, father William.\" Unfortunately, these, combined with passages from the speech itself, only make his other choices look anemic. To the \"infant,\/Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms,\" for instance, Rebecca Kai Dotlich offers a bland \"Amazing, your face.\/Amazing\"; on the facing page, a \"traditional Nigerian lullaby\" is stripped of music: \"Sleep my baby near to me.\/Lu lu lu lu lu lu.\" Along with Joan Bransfield Graham's \"A Soldier's Letter to a Newborn Daughter,\" which ends with a condescending \"I'm coming home\/to my girls\"\/With All My Love,\/DAD,\" most of the rest are cast in prosaic free verse. Hopkins' \"Curtain,\" probably written for this collection closes the set with theatrical imagery. Billout supplies pale, distant views of small figures and some surreal element in largely empty settings–appropriate, considering the poetry, but they lack either appeal for young audiences or any evocation of the Shakespearean lines' vigorous language and snarky tone. A poor performance, \"[s]ans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.\"\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        –\u003cem\u003eKirkus\u003c\/em\u003e , September 2013\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n    \u003cdiv class=\"book-review-body\"\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        Building from Shakespeare's \"Seven Ages of Man\" monologue from As You Like It, Hopkins organizes this collection of poetry according to the seven ages, labeling them \"Entrances,\" \"Childhood,\" \"Love,\" \"War,\" \"Adulthood,\" \"Aged,\" and \"Exits\" and allotting three poems for each. Every section opens with a spread of a theater with each life stage portrayed inside, beginning with \"At first the infant,\" and taking readers through to the \"Last Scene\" stae. The stark, surreal art delivers small bites of emotion and symbolism. The 21 selections come from a range of poets, mixing Walt Whitman and Lewis Carroll with modern children's poets such as Janet S. Wong and Kate Coombs. The unique concept behind this book allows readers to look at both the monologue and the poetry in a new way.

The unofficial cease-fire has inspired other books, including Christmas in the Trenches, based on the song by John McCutcheon. That version also used a fictional hero\/narrator but allowed him to survive to tell the tale to his curious grandchildren. Lewis' unnamed soldier is not so lucky. He describes the horrors of war eloquently and evokes the miracle of peace that reigned briefly for the holiday. The author piles on poignancy, revealing the young man's vain hope that the war would soon be over in a journal entry discovered after his death by sniper shot. He notes in a brief afterword that the war continued for just under four more years with a total loss of almost 10 million lives. Kelley's compelling artwork features mostly dark shades and strong, angular compositions. The overall design includes panels of various sizes, allowing him to pack in plenty of events and emotions and providing a strong narrative flow. Grim, upsetting and utterly beautiful, this is both a strong anti-war statement and a fascinating glimpse of a little-known historical event.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        –\u003cem\u003eKirkus\u003c\/em\u003e (Starred Review), November 2011\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n    \u003cdiv class=\"book-review-body\"\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        And the Soldiers Sang is a picture book for older readers–age 9 and up. Set during the First World War, along the Western Front, it's a fictionalized account of a moment in history when enemies called a brief truce and celebrated Christmas together. This is not the first time the truce has worked its way into children's literature (Britain's Michael Morpurgo used it as basis for a short story: \"The Best Christmas Present in the World\"), but Kelley's powerful images and Lewis's thoughtful, dignified text capture the horror and banality of war, juxtaposing it with the shared humanity of soldiers on both sides of the battlefield. When a British soldier \"spots small, candlelit pines ghosting the German line\" on Dec. 24, 1914, and he and his comrades hear a German baritone singing Stille Nacht (Silent Night) on this one night when \"the artillery had fallen strangely silent,\" it takes a while before the two sides climb out of their trenches to meet. Once they do, in careful and hesitating steps, they find they're not so different from each other: both sides love chocolate, carry family photos and enjoy a game of soccer. Inevitably, however, the brass steps in and the truce is halted. \"Our captain stood on the parapet, fired three shots in the air, and held up a banner. His German counterpart, raising an answering standard, fired two shots. And the war resumed.\" It's an unusual Christmas tale (with a sad ending), but one worth sharing.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        –Bernie Goedhart, \u003cem\u003eMontreal Gazette\u003c\/em\u003e , December 2011\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n    \u003cdiv class=\"book-review-body\"\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        Told in panels, graphic-novel style, and with stark poetic prose, this large-scale picture book for older children is a jaw-droppingly powerful depiction of war and of humanity's ability to transcend its most dismal experiences. During World War I, a war that \"welcomed no melody,\" Owen Davies, a fictional young Welsh soldier, recounts the true story of how his fellow soldiers put aside guns on Christmas Eve 1914 and joined the Germans in Christmas caroling.

American children's poet laureate Lewis, who worked with Kelley on Black Cat Bone, composes grim first-person prose. Leaving it to readers to decode the WWI colloquialisms, Lewis writes from the viewpoint of a fictive Welsh infantryman, Owen Davies: \"In December, lying doggo each morning in my serpentine cellar, I wrote in [my] gilded daybook. The frozen ground above became a bone orchard for soldiers running on raids–and falling like ninepins quick with lead.\" On Christmas Eve, Owen hears a \"baritone singing Stille Nacht (Silent Night); an accomplished tenor himself, he responds with \"The First Noel.\" Tentatively, the rival sides approach each other for an unprecedented and brief Christmas celebration. Kelley conjures the muddy trenches and frigid European winter in his brooding, earth-tone pastels. His contorted soldiers, surrounded by bare-limbed trees and barbed wire, evoke the distrubing sketches of Egon Schiele. Concluding in tragedy, it memorializes a century-old war and a snuffed-out glimmer of peace.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        –\u003cem\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/em\u003e , October 2011\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n    \u003cdiv class=\"book-review-body\"\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        In the midst of the bleakness of World War I on the Western Front somewhere in Belgium, a miracle occurred. On Christmas Eve 1914, the Germans and the English were at a stalemate. Each side had gone as far as they could go, and instead of pushing on, they dug a series of extensive trenches that allowed them to hide from the bullets being fired by their enemies. Of course, this meant that no movement could be made and so the two sides fought on across the space between called \"no man's land\" with very little effect. But on Christmas Eve, the German soldiers proffered a temporary peace, a cease-fire, for both sides to celebrate the holiday. As unlikely as this was, the truce held while they shared songs and food as if they were old friends. On Boxing Day, however, the war returned to these beleaguered men. The narrator is shot having just spent Christmas singing to the enemy. Lewis's prose is sometimes overwrought but the story is strong nonetheless. Kelley's dark palette and angular faces showcase the pain, the ennui, and the futility of war. This is a great addition for middle school libraries, in particular. Pair it with John McCutcheon's less dark Christmas in the Trenches (Peachtree, 2006), which can be used with much younger children.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        –Joan Kindig, \u003cem\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/em\u003e , January 2012\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-footer\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eAges 8 and up\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eFiction, 32 pages, 2012\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eISBN \u003cspan class=\"variant-sku\"\u003e978-1-56846-220-2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Creative Company","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":32577089896529,"sku":"978-1-56846-220-2","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":32577089929297,"sku":"9780898129755","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3432\/0977\/products\/9781568462202.jpg?v=1626454300"},{"product_id":"angels-978-1-60818-760-7","title":"Angels","description":"\u003cp\u003e\nA high-interest inquiry into the possible existence of angels, emphasizing reported sightings and stories as well as studies, polls, and religious accounts.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Part of the \u003ca href=\"\/es\/collections\/series-are-they-real\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre They Real?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e series \u003ci class=\"caret-right show-series-description\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"series-description-container\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\n  Aliens and chupacabras, angels and fairies, Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster.
