Twelve Kids One Cow

This first title in a new poetry series features Ken Ward's fresh, exuberant verse and whimsical drawings for the very young and the very old. "The appearance of this book of poetry is distinctly different! From its long, narrow shape to its lack of capitals, variety of typefaces and cute, casual line drawings, a gentle, non-conformist style is communicated. 'Kid-tested' on grade three's who loved the poems, this is a poetry book that is funny, easy-to-read and entertaining. Ken Ward's language is rich and vivid, allowing a wide range of visual imagery." - In Search of Canadian Materials "It's imaginative, colourful and most of all just as much fun for adults as it is for children." - Halifax Chronicle-Herold
