Beschreibung
Can it be there was only onesummer that I was ten?First published in 1956, May Swenson s "e;The Centaur"e; remains one of her most popular and most anthologized poems. This is its first appearance as a picture book for children. In images bright and brisk and tangible, the poet re-creates the joy of riding a stick horse through a small-town summer. We find ourselves, with her, straddling a long limber horse with . . . a few leaves for a tail, and pounding through the lovely dust along the path by the old canal. As her shape shifts from child to horse and back, we know exactly what she feels.Sherry Meidell s water-color illustrations perfectly convey the wit and beauty of May Swenson s poem. These are playful, satisfying images full of vitality and imagination. Meidell handles the joy of poem s fantasy and the joy of its occasional naughtiness with equal success.
