<p>An ALA Notable Children's Book</p> <p><b>HONEY, I LOVE</b><br /> and other love poems</p> <p>Ages 7 to 11</p> <p><i>Love don't mean all that kissing<br /> Like on television<br /> Love Means Daddy<br /> Saying keep your mama company<br /> till I get back<br /> And me doing it</i></p> <p>Sixteen poems tell of love and the simple joys of everyday life, seen through the eyes of a child: playing with a friend, skipping rope, riding on a train--or keeping Mama company till Daddy gets back.</p> <p>Each of these sixteen "love poems" is spoken straight from the heart of a child. Riding on a train, listening to music, playing with a friend...each poem elicits a new appreciation of the rich content of everyday life. And each poem is accompanied by a beautiful drawing, both portrait and panorama, that deepens the insights contained in the singing words.<br /> For the first time Eloise Greenfield and Diane and Leo Dillon have combined teir rich talents to bring children a book that shows them the joys that come from seeing with a poet's eyes--the eyes of love.</p> <p>Notable Children's Books of 1978 (ALA)<br /> A Reading Rainbow Selection<br /> Winner, 1990 Recognition of Merit Award (George C.
