Concise, simple but not simplistic, universal appeal down to age 2, collection of poems that tell a story. Young Everett is getting used to Mr. Perry being "almost a dad" and his mama now being called Mrs. Perry and a new baby on the way. He has mixed feelings, especially about there being enough love to go around, but of course there's a happy ending.
My first Everett Anderson but not my last. I think I'll try to read more others by Clifton, too.
