Book Review- Children's Poetry

In honor of Black History month I've picked "Pass It On, African-American Poetry For Children." It's a collection of poems from African-American poets. The poems were selected by Wade Hudson. Illustrations by Floyd Cooper. Some of the poems are themed around the everyday "going-ons" of children. Other poems are about the African-American experience. The book is worth exploring. Some poems are better than others.
