Adorable Scoundrels BY HOWARD EISENBERG
From his charming book, Adorable Scoundrels, Howard Eisenberg and his illustrator, Susan G. Robinson, bring to life the fierce fun to be had when a grandparent.
Below are two delightful examples from this book, Gale Warnings and Strategic Retreat.
Adorable Scoundrels is a treasury of poems to make you smile when you feel like crying. For years, upon hearing them read at lectures, parents asked, Where can I get the book? Inspired by hundreds of mischievous toddlers the book is finally here.
They grin up at you proudly when they knock over a lamp. They clap their hands enthusiastically when they splash the salt shaker into your orange juice. When we strap them in their strollers, they cry to get out. When we lift them out, they cry to get in.
You’ll recognize your own toddlers in the truth-telling verses of author, poet, and playwright Howard Eisenberg who met them first as toddlers of his own, and of his much beloved late wife Arlene.
