Recenzii

'Will ignite children's interest in poetry ... The book's content covers issues from global warming to themes such as bumblebees - both to entertain and provoke discussion'
'[Hot Like Fire and Other Poems] exhibits [Bloom's] strengths: her relish for the peculiarities of language (whether it's turns of phrase or word play, her storytelling skills, her emotional sensitivity, her sense of fun, her ability to enter into a child's world, and, above all, her love of rhythm and the pure sound and pattern of words . . . These are the strengths of a poet who, while never stooping to easy crowd pleasing, can enthral an audience with the pure magic of her words'
'The poems are wonderful to read and are full of colour and rhyme . . . great to read alone or with a group'
'The poems are wonderful to read and are full of colour and rhythm'
