Review Detail

What a fun and inventive ride On the Edge with Coolhead Luke takes you on. From the very first page where there is an ode to Coolhead Luke- a boy of extraordinary bravery, to the last page that cant help but leave you with a smile, this book is a winner all around.

In the Shel Silverstein style of fun and humor, each page opens up to a child-oriented poem that is cleverly illustrated by Colin White. Colin is the middle school aged son of the author Jennifer White. This book is their second collaboration, the first being Coolhead Luke and Other Stories.

Its clear that these two work well together and respect each other. The poems are funny and perfect for young readers who adore Seuss-like cadence and the illustrations add a unique additional layer of understanding and fun to the text.

To help with the mechanics of poetry, the book includes a glossary of terms and a guide for teachers and homeschoolers.

This highly creative effort from team White makes this one very special and delightful book perfect for any young (or even older) reader who likes to laugh.
