Okay....could I love that cow any more?
I don't think so.
Do I adore the work of Sharon Creech?
Um, heck YEAH!
I love this book so dang much.
"...the smells and the heat and the noise were pouring in the windows and squeezing us from all sides."
*Sigh*
"It seemed they didn't want to waste friend effort on someone who was leaving town."
*Sigh again*
"The voice full of honey but the words...not."
*Big heaving sigh*
This book VIBRATES with action and sounds.....the WORDS:
Lurched
Ambled
Lumbered
Skittered
Lunged
Careened
Clambering
Zooming
Ogling
Screaming
Vibrating
Wailing
Bellowing
And then there is this:
"Sometimes an hour is a blink
A flash
A wink, a flicker
A dashing gallop
And sometimes
An hour stretches
Thuddingly
Second by second
An endless
Eternity
of drips"
THUDDINGLY?
Who even thinks up that word?
I really, really, really loved this book.
And so will you.
