We should do more of this with more books we read/review.<br /><br />We are making our own V. party with paper hearts, mom&#39;s special flannel pj pants for all, and a gluten free choc. cake for dessert. Sweets for the sweet! Hope you find some shared joy today.Andromeda Jazmonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355192738014962965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-14582848863916874762010-02-12T23:33:12.633-05:002010-02-12T23:33:12.633-05:00Mary Ann, I&#39;d be happy to send it your way.

I&#39;m intrigued by this collection. I read several of the poems on Google Books, but wanted more. Let me know if you can send it - I&#39;m happy to pay for the shipping, or send something in return.

Too bad. I liked the poem you shared though.Peaceful Readerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10265198438524420667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-73530599485585412592010-02-12T19:38:09.828-05:002010-02-12T19:38:09.828-05:00Cool title, I have to ask my husband who&#39;s Dominican if he knows that phrase. It&#39;s one of those that catches your attention because it sounds so odd in English, yet we get the meaning. It&#39;s interesting what you said about not seeing enough Spanish. I&#39;d love to see more writing for kids in English with Spanish artfully laced in. I think young readers can handle it and it gives poetry and prose a great cultural context. btw, I was excited to find your blog and will look forward to checking in. Take care and stay warm and dry in all this snow!!Mimi Fivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05143312410957504954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-88321530446752765652010-02-12T15:03:20.045-05:002010-02-12T15:03:20.045-05:00*snorting at PapaReader*<br /><br />Love that poem, and love that you honestly and critically describe what the book is lacking. Poetry collections are tough for me to like sometimes for just some of these same reasons.tanita davishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-59416917830068970512010-02-12T12:56:25.402-05:002010-02-12T12:56:25.402-05:00Wait...
