Review # 1 was written on 2009-11-13 00:00:00 Mary Schneider Summary & Review- Plum is a children's poetry book. It is an anthology of 20 poems that cover a variety of topics and the poems are written in a variety of forms. Some of the topics include food while others are about animals and talents. There is a poem in here for everyone! The illustrations are beautiful! The illustrator Mary Grand Pre (the illustrator of the Harry Potter books) makes each picture extremely unique. She uses pastels and each picture takes up the entire space of the page and somehow connect to the poem. For example, one poem was titled Flightpath. The poem is "The reason why the fly annoys me, as it does, is that, however hard I try, I can't ignore its BUZZ." The illustration is of a dog looking very irritated and the poem looks like it's following a fly and goes in one ear of the dog and moves all the way to the other ear. A well-written and beautifully illustrated poetry book for kids!
