Comets, Stars, the Moon, and Mars: Space Poems and Paintings

"The universe is every place, / including all the e m p t y space. / It's every star and galaxy, / All objects of astronomy, / . . . All persons throughout history-including you, including me." These twenty playful and informative poems about space touch on everything from constellations that are a "zoo up in the sky," to space exploration, to Pluto's recent woes: ". . . Pluto was a planet. / Pluto was admired. / Pluto was a planet. / Till one day it got fired." Fullcolor gouache and collage with die cuts. Glossary. Bibliography.
