I pick the car key from the table
At the door I realise its a battery
that needs to be recycled
I remove milk from the microwave
after adding sugar, I put the
plastic jar in to the microwave.

The man who could stop at nothing
Iron Butt Association
Scott Fitzgerald' lines from page 1 make us see how fiction writers can come out of their lives and imagine things.

Colorful illustrations
Most stories in A Treasury of Favorite tales are new to me.
'How the Camel Got his Hump', 'How the Leopard Got his spots', 'The Elephant's Child', 'The cat that walked by Himself' are collected from Rudyard Kipling's Just so stories. I would have liked this mentioned. 'The Golden Goose' is from 'The Grimm Fairy tales'. The rest are from 'Aesops fables'.
Even the known one like 'The Hare and the Tortoise', 'The Fox and the Stork' are interesting with their makeover look. Imagine the stork with a pearl necklace.
The text embeds so well into the picture that it seems like a picture book than a text book. The amount of text in a line is like a free verse poem, making the reading smooth.

What makes your brain happy and why you should do the opposite
I want to compare this book with 'The geography of bliss'.
The writing style is so 20 years ago, that it is hard to read. This book needs a makeover as ' new non fiction'.

Dog moon, Radio moon, Poetry moon
The book of men
In Learning to drive, I liked the ending
to let me go it alone. his back pressed
against all that emptiness
I liked Mine own Phil Levine for its 'to wait, to hold true/ to my vision, to speak in my own voice' and 'to be yourself in your own time, to stand up/ that poetry was precision, raw precision/ Truth and compassion: genius'.
I liked The rising of a pregnant mare too. Author Dorianne Laux's interview on the poem and the book.
I liked the Dog moon poem too. There's a bit on it in the above interview link. his poem can be used as a poetry exercise too with its 'dog moon, radio moon, panic moon....'
Another interview of the author.
