Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This collection of poems, creatively presented in the format of an allegorical house, will engage anyone who has ever wondered "why?" as it shows young readers that wonder is everywhere--in yourself and in the world around you.
Welcome to the Wonder House, a place to explore the cornerstone of every great thinker--a sense of wonder. This Wonder House has many rooms--one for nature, one for quiet, and one for mystery, among others. Each room is filled with poems and objects covering a wide variety of STEAM topics, including geology, paleontology, physics, astronomy, creative writing, and drawing, that will inspire curiosity in young readers.
This enchanting book written by award-winning poets Rebecca Kai Dotlich and Georgia Heard both sparks wonder and shows readers how to kindle it in themselves.
Room of curiosity -- Room of praise -- Room of ordinary things -- Room of creatures -- Room of nature -- Room of science -- Room of time -- Room of place -- Room of quiet -- Room of imagination -- Room of mystery -- Room of wishes -- A note about wonder.
"In the Wonder House, each room is filled with poems and objects to inspire... The rooms in this house are a road map for finding wonder--twelve rooms in all, housing twenty-nine poems and wondrous images."-- Adapted from front jacket flap.
