review 1: This is a collection of 36 brief poems that are organized into four seasonal categories. These poems make great examples for children of how a few well-chosen words can create vivid images in your mind. The selected poetry includes some well-known poets -- William Carlos Williams, Carl Sandburg, Langston Hughes, Robert Frost, and Emily Dickinson. Melissa Sweet has created the collage-style illustrations, and has wonderfully captured the essence of each poem.
review 2: "Firefly July" contains poems that build up through an entire year. the illustrations correspond with each month and the season.I wasn't a big fan of this book. The pictures however, were phenomenal. The poems were good but not as kid friendly as they could be. I would only recommend this in a sc... morehool setting at higher grade levels such as fourth or fifth graders learning poetry. Younger kids may not understand the types of poetry or why it's written the way it is, I also don't think it would hold their interest. less
