Summary: An anthology of whimsical and enjoyable poetry
Comment: Collaborative compiled and edited Robert Dunbar Robert Dunbar and Gabriel Fitzmaurice, Rusty Nails & Astronauts is an superbly presented anthology of whimsical and enjoyable poetry for children. Filled with captivatingly colorful as well as simple and entertaining black-and-white illustrations, this anthology lyrical verses recite fairy-tale like short sagas of foxes, cows, icicles, and countless other everyday creatures and things. An engaging introduction to the joy of poetry for young readers -- and with some that stir the older reader to serious thought and reflection. Good Night: Will you leave the light, Tom? Just a while./You've already discovered what night means/Now that the bars have come down from your cot;/Nothing to protect you but the brittle/Cobwebby veil of sleep. Four a.m. scenes/And repeated stories are all we've got/To send you back to the enveloping peace./And where does it come from, this new disease/Of darkness, the fear of the night's unseen?/How many deaths have you witnessed on the small screen/Already, murders while nappy-changing,/Shooting between bottles and Sudocrem?/No Care Bears can protect your naked toes,/No Megan watch the sky while you doze. (Thomas McCarthy).
