About this title: Inspired by the work of poet William Blake, this book of poetry creates a world in which Blake runs an inn inhabited by very unusual guests. Staffed by dragons, angels, and a rabbit, the inn welcomes such visitors as the Man in the Marmalade Hat, the King of the Cats, a wise cow, a bouquet of tired sunflowers, and a tiger requesting a bedtime ...

"Am I missing something? Why in the world was this book chosen for the Newbery? What do any of these poems have to do with William Blake? Did he have an inn? If he did not have a real inn, what is meant by his imaginary inn? Tedious. Boring, boring, boring.
I must find someone who loves this book to share what he loves about it."
"This is book that tells the tale of a young boy who is sick and his nanny tells him a tale of an Inn where William Blake stays and the adventures of the tenants through poetry. This book was difficult and I would not use it in a classroom or have in my collection. I think there are better options for children who want to experience the world of poetry.
