Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Caldecott Medalist Chris Raschka brings John Keats's words to whimsical life in the poet's only work written for children.
He was a naughty boy,
A naughty boy was he,
He would not stop at home,
He could not quiet be.
English poet John Keats is remembered for his great odes and sonnets -- making this lighthearted, little-known poem a special treat. As written in a letter to his young sister when he was feeling homesick on a visit to Scotland, Keats runs his rhymes up and down and all around, leading the reader on a playful chase in and out of language and meaning while caricaturing both himself and what it means to be an aspiring poet. In perfect synchrony, the celebrated Chris Raschka illustrates Keats's droll words with his signature vibrant, energetic watercolors.
""A Song about myself" by John Keats from "The complete works of John Keats, vol. 2", edited by H. Buxton Forman, Glsgow, Scotland: Gowars & Gray, 1901"--Title page verso.
This little-known poem by the beloved poet is filled with playful rhymes that are complemented by vibrant watercolors.
