The book features illustrated verses, including “When I Went Out for a Walk One Day,” “I Went to the Pictures Tomorrow,” and the dialogue poem “I Want to Be Monday,” where the days of the week debate who has the most appealing role. Additional poems like “Nathaniel” continue the theme of odd transformations and divided
