JUNE IS A TUNE THAT JUMPS ON A STAIR
by Sarah Wilson & illustrated by Sarah Wilson
``It's a day for a cone,/for a plum/or a peach,/a warm- spoony day/for a run/on the beach,/where a ball/hits the clouds,/where the sky tips/the sea,/where we jump/for the water,/one, two, three!'' Thirty-one childlike poems about everyday things—weather, growing, seasons, night—as lighthearted and easily accessible as the author's illustrations of merry tots and their animal friends. Best are Wilson's deft phrasing and lilting cadences. Nice. (Poetry/Picture book. 2-7)
