On the Edge With Coolhead Luke

Brought to you by the mother and son team that created 'œCoolhead Luke and Other Stories'�, this second collection will engage and delight even the most reluctant readers. Jennifer's humorous poems and Colin's whimsical illustrations play off each other beautifully, creating an inventive world in which characters are presented with a bizarre assortment of challenges and absurdities. The poems are composed in an animated, jaunty style that is a pleasure to read. In the midst of the fun, there are teachable opportunities to demonstrate the fundamentals of poetry, including a teacher's guide in the back of the book. Ideal for ages 8-12, this is a charming collection for children and parents alike.
