Our Village my Joh Yeoman ** First Edtion ** 1988
Condition: Excellent no signs of wear (Like New)
Cover: Hardcover with slipcover
A collection of poems introducing the memorable residents of a village, including the baker, Mr. Crumb, absent-minded Dotty Lou, and Mr. Mandolini and his dancing bear.
From School Library Journal:
Kindergarten-Grade 2-- This book is introduced only by a poem on the front flap. Inside the cover, there is a map of Our Village, but otherwise, there are no titles to the poems, nor any indicators as to where this village is or in which period the poems are supposed to be set. The poems are funny, but not great poetry; frequently the lines are filled out by an inventive repetition of words, as though the poet were at a loss for an appropriate iamb or alternative. The pictures are cartoon-like and full of motion and humor, but the historical detail with which the poems are frequently concerned do not appear in them. The result is a volume with some occasionally entertaining character vignettes and some interesting illustrations, but the two do not merge into an artistic whole, so the volume seems without purpose or vision. --Ruth K. MacDonald, Perdue University Calumet, Hammond, Ind. Grades 3-6
