Book Review - Fathers, Mothers, Sisters, Brothers

Hoberman, Mary Ann, ill. Marilyn Hafner. 1991. Fathers, Mothers, Sisters, Brothers: A Collection of Family Poems. Scholastic, Inc.: New York, NY.

This wonderful collection of poetry has something for everyone. The poems are written in a variety of formats ranging in topic from family relations – “Big Sister”, and “Grandmas and Grandpas” and more - to vacation and adoption. The rhyme of each selection creates a sing-song effect, and yet is pleasing to the ear. Comical, colorful illustrations fill each page, making this collection a well-rounded crowd pleasers.
