Book-A-Day 59

Dear Hot Dog: Poems About Everyday Stuff by Mordicai Gerstein is exactly what the title states, poems about common things.  The poems are about things, such as toothbrush, water, hot dog, books, and pillow.  In the poem "Books", it says "Books! All sizes, all colors, whispering, 'Come inside!' 'Come inside!'"  This book is a good example of how poetry does not have to be fancy.  It can be about simple things.  #BookADay59
