This book is part of the larger book universe that Kate DiCamillo has created with Mercy Watson and The Lincoln family. What this book has is poetry. Kids start to learn about poetry in 1st and 2nd grade so this is a wonderful introduction for either a kid to read on their own or for teachers/librarians to read to their students. This allows for kids to learn new concepts but with familiar characters and familiar drawings.

ARC Copy...I can safely say yes Mercy Watson will be happy with the latest venture into the series but also I feel it might find a place in school libraries both for writing quality and a very fine lesson on the art of poetry and metaphors suitable for kids.
