Industry Reviews
"...a vivid plunge into a world of verse and images..."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (10/19/1995)

"The juxtaposition of poems--dating from the 1920s through the 1950s--with portions of 'The Block'--a collage Bearden created in 1971--give both works new spark; in fact, the two seem made for each other. The poems act as small spyglasses, enhancing details of the larger collage or giving new meaning to the visual image..."
