Summary: Quiet Beauty
Review: This perfect blend of poetry and artistry makes a memorable reading experience for readers of any age. Susan Jeffers' illustrations not only capture the mood of the poem but also add her own unique, sometimes humorous, twist. Children will especially love looking for the animals "hidden" in the pencil drawings.

Summary: Just as I pictured it
Review: When illustrators provide their visual representation of a well-loved story or poem, I'm often disappointed. That's not how I pictured it, I complain.Well, not in this case. I love this poem dearly, with both "promises to keep" and "miles to go before I sleep" being recurring themes in how I think about what I need to get done each week. And behind the philosopy is the image of a bearded man driving his carriage through the snow on the way home to his waiting family. My father, I think, is the guy in my mental images of this. The artwork in this book is absolutely delightful, and serves to make more vivid the images that were already in my mind. I love the poem, I love the art, and I love sharing these things with my daughter, who also loves this book.
