What do you get when you take a word, take all the letters apart and make it into a poem? That is just what Bob Raczka did with his new book, Lemonade and Other Poems Squeezed From a Single Word. This is not an ordinary book of prose and poetry. It is fun!! It is part puzzle and part poem. The reader will need to read letter by letter according to the arrangement, so the left to right reading approach might not always work. The good thing is, if you get stumped, the poem is on the next page. This is a great approach to making poetry come alive! 48 pages
