All ages. (Oct.) From Booklist In this companion to Julie Andrews’ Collection of Poems, Songs, and Lullabies (2009), the prolific mother-daughter team anthologizes verses and lyrics celebrating events throughout the year. Arranged seasonally, the poems relate to weather, secular and religious holidays, and rites of passage. Songs (for example, “Sunrise, Sunset”) appear without music, although Andrews encourages readers to track down the melodies. The authors also contribute their own poems, including “A Valentine” (Andrews) and “Ode to Us” (Hamilton). Coverage is diverse, ranging from “Martin Luther King Day” to “Chinese New Year” to “Passover” to “Ramadan Has Begun” to “Kwanzaa Days.” Many of the poets are familiar-Myra Cohn Livingston, Rachel Field, Jack Prelutsky, Barbara Juster Esbensen, Lillian Moore-although the selected verses may not be; their tone ranges from sentimental to humorous to poignant. Priceman’s colorful gouache illustrations (printed on heavy card stock) feature smiling children engaged in active pursuits. Perfect for family sharing, this also makes a valuable resource for teachers and librarians in need of verses for special days. Grades 2-5. --Kay Weisman About the Author Julie Andrewss legendary career encompasses the Broadway and London stages, as well as multiple films, television shows, album releases, concert tours, directing assignments, and the world of childrens publishing.
