I am not a poetry lover, but I did enjoy reading these short bits. It is, in my mind, a book of very short stories about the winter. I received this book in the summer - now that it is getting colder, I am re-reading it and in the night chill it resonates much more deeply. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I won "Night Guard" on LibraryThing. It's a story about a family told in poetry form. Very good. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. This is a beautifully written and beautifully illustrated book!I love poetry books anyway. So I was very excited to get this one! I do think that you have to love poetry or at least appreciate it to like this book, or any poetry book for that matter. Poetry is sometimes hard to "get", but I get it! And I "got" this book and loved it.It seems like the more I read this, the more I like it. I get more and more out of it each time. I love this one - All you need is a friend now and you're big enough to walk home alone in the evening, Dad says. Then you'll learn how to rip up the dark with your hands and throw it at anyone you think is following you. And - Today our dog doesn't have a name. No one can call him in. He stands at the door, waiting for someone to throw the summer for him, so he can run off and fetch me the sun. I received this book from "Librarything Early Reviewers" for my honest review!

Highly Recommended.
--------------------------
When Mom cries, she cries only
because she's happy, Dad says.
it's when she smiles
it's impossible
to know what she's thinking.
---------------------
There are trees
that hardly think at all
They just stand there swaying
exactly as much
as the wind makes them.
And then there are trees
that think all the time.
on some days
it's just a question
of knowing the song.
--------------------
First my friend
laughs, and afterward
I do.
Then the laughter is
precisely long enough.
I can wind it
three times around my neck,
and get it to warm me
half the winter. ( )
