"This is collection of poems for multiple readers by Paul Fleischman. Four children together can narrate each of the three amusing poems. "Quiet Evenings Here" is full of rhythm with "Grandma rockin'," "Clock tick-tockin'," "Sister hummin'," and "Grandpa strummin'". The "Seventh-Grade Soap Opera" illustrates the dramatic life of middle schoolers, while "Ghosts'Grace" blends all the sights and sounds of a family's delicious dinner. There are a few full-page warm illustrations, but most of the pictures run across the bottom of the pages beneath the color-coded lines of the poetry. The author starts the book with helpful instructions and hints for reading these vignettes aloud--getting the hang of how it all works will be half the fun. This is a motivating, rollicking book that will really engage late elementary/middle school readers. (Gr. 5-8)"
"I love this author. He has a great ear for rhythm and flow. This book is really 3 poems meant to be read by 4 people at once (everyone has a different part-- sometimes in unison, sometimes not). Great for teacher types. Great for performance. Not really a sit-down-and-read-alone kind of thing."
"I read "The Quiet Evenings Here" and all the poems in the book require four people to read. More than one can talk at a time. I didn't actually read it aloud because I didn't have three other people with me in the library but I'm sure it sounds awesome. Some of the words probably sound like what they're describing. For example, "grandma rockin'" sounds like rocking and "clock tick-tockin'" sounds like tick-tocking. So that makes it more "alive" and sound really cool :)"
"This is a really interesting concept book from Fleischman. It's part music, part verse, part story. You and three other people each have a speaking part. You follow the colored lines, but the order is written like music on the page. Would your kids cooperate to read this together? That's the real test."
