Up Verses Down

Christy Ottaviano Books / Henry Holt 2019

"Artplay to go with the wordplay. Readers who take silliness seriously are well-advised to "sit back and sample this humble compendium. / Begin in the middle or go back from the endium."―Kirkus Reviews

"Brown is a master of nonsense rhyme, yet there’s actually an amusing logic to the 50-plus poems that comprise this anthology. From the introduction to the concluding writing advice and author’s note, Brown never lets up on the rhyming fun."―Booklist

"The collection sends the message that language is there for creative play. Hand this to readers with active imaginations, particularly if they’re writers themselves."―Horn Book
