Hardcover. Plattsburgh, NY, Tundra Books, 1st , 1997, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover with dust jacket. Color illustrations by Barry Moser. Clean, tight copy. Fragments of a handwritten letter have been discovered. Their author's name is Margaret, and in the letter she describes her memories of a summer of her girlhood long ago when the dippers came up from the Don River. It was 1912, and a summer full of odd happenings. The letter tells of Margaret's first encounter with her father, of her mother's worry that she might lose her job as a maid, and of her little sister's being overtaken by paralysis and disease. And, of course, there were the dippers moving up from the river to inhabit the neighbourhood - furry, ungainly, dog-like creatures with leathery wings - creatures unnerving but not dangerous, yet another fact of life to become adjusted to.

New York , Knopf, 1st, 1993, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. Color illustrated by Marjorie Priceman. Fans of Poems of A. Nonny Mouse will rejoice in this effervescent sequel containing more than 50 wittily illustrated short verses. In an introductory letter, Ms. Mouse acknowledges that since the successful publication of her first volume, she's "been able to afford the occasional wedge of imported cheese" and "put away something for her old age." Along with traditional offerings, tongue twisters, limericks and four unlabeled poems by Prelutsky--identified as the editor of Ms. Mouse's scribblings--the book includes the familiar poem about infamous "Ooey Gooey," the worm who ends up squashed on a railroad track, and a subversive rendition of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" that concludes with "Throw your teacher overboard / And listen to her scream." Priceman's watercolors, like those she executed in Prelutsky's For Laughing Out Loud , are frolicsome and frisky, mischievously expressive.

Originally performed for ESPN's The Undefeated in 2016, the poem adopts a picture book format with a new title, accompanied by stunning oil paintings in Nelson's trademark photorealistic style. The evocative illustrations stand out against stark white backgrounds and vary in their composition. On some spreads, the focus is on a single expressive portrait; others feature collages of African American icons from various disciplines, or refer to significant historical moments. The art functions in perfect harmony with the poet's spare, striking verse to electrify the Black American experience, and to celebrate black athletes, writers, musicians, activists, and heroes.
