Sky Magic

      I love this book because it takes poetry written by famous poets and compiles it into one book with beautiful, rich illustrations. The subject of the poetry is all about the sun, moon and stars. Many of the poems are by poets I have never read before, but the poems are really fresh and interesting. I especially like the poem Rising by Sarah Hansen. It goes like this: 

Like a fresh loaf,

Sun rises,

Tempting dawn

To break

Her golden crust-

Taste morning!

Most of the poems are really short, but there are a few longer poems. The poems are organized into a progression from day to night, from sunrise to sunset. The art work in this book is notable for its brilliant oranges and blues and it has allot of depth to it. The images are magical and not the obvious depiction of the poem but have elements you wouldn't expect, like paper hat boats and piano's spewing stars.
