520 1 _a"Burgess displays a keen intuition for what will get kids laughing — and what will make them think. . . . Broad and subtle in turn — verse to stay with readers for years to come." —STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews
520 1 _a"Burgess offers fantastical fragments and affirming messages throughout this rich trove of impish verse. In digitally colored pencil drawings, some stylistically reminiscent of Maurice Sendak’s in A Hole Is to Dig, Caldecott Medalist Salati offers slyly understated vignettes of children dancing, dreaming, encountering creatures, and more." —Publishers Weekly
520 1 _a"Burgess twists the strands of language into invented words that make perfect sense in Salati’s scene of feasting monsters. . . . Poets and artists can accomplish magic."—Imaginary Elevators
520 1 _a"Words with Wings and Magic Things is a whimsical illustrated poetry collection for young readers. . . . [containing] over 50 poems showcasing the author’s love of language, words and rhyme. Readers can’t help but smile at its combination of silliness and heart. Burgess’ poems are a playful celebration of imagination, being yourself, and making magic out of the mundane." —Quebec Library Association
