All Holidays, All the Time!

Bet you didn't know that Dean Koontz wrote a book of poetry. For kids. Yes, that Dean Koontz.

The Labbits and Ponyo read the titular poem.
Mr. Koontz's Every Day's a Holiday will introduce your student to poetry as well as holidays- real, imagined, and otherwise. He covers the standard holidays- New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day, Cinco de Mayo, Kwanzaa, Yom Kippur- as well as the imagined- Gravity Day, Me Day, Lost-Tooth Day. And the otherwise- What Should Go Into a Holiday Pie, How to Get to Sleep Before a Holiday.

Despite his well-deserved reputation as a horror author, most poems in the book are not frightening. Good for all ages. Illustrated in black and white by Phil Parks. 127 pages.
