..Sept.amb.Qiv 1949.. n J O j n j 1 1 v 1 hailing with pride the appearance of A Tittle Poem Rook, by Ethel A. M. Tozier ('Mrs. Elmer Tozier, Orangeville). This volume, which came from the press of the Russell F, Moore Co., N. Y., last month is delightfully illustrated by Mary Prout, wife of Rev. W. S. Christie, formerly -castor of the Warsaw Baptist Church,and'in each instance she has caught spirit of the poems. the fine The thirty-odd poems were originally written for Mrs.Tozier's daughter and son, Ethelma^ and Charles, and were inspired by in- cidents which happened during their childhood. The daughter is a member of the faculty of Ossining High School, the mother of a two-year old daughter, while the son is at home. In addition to her own offspring, the author dedicated the collection to Ricky, Mrs. Prout's little boy, who during the preparations for the volume frequently queried his mother, " I wanna see the little poem book," hence the title. Mrs. Tozier has long been 'mown among her circle of friends as a person of literary accomplishments,having published children's stories as well as Christmas verse. While we are not a qualified critic, we feel our readers will find keen enjoyment intbis volume whether they be ei_ht or eighty. Her pen transforms bit3 of juvenile experience into delightful morsels of poetic beauty,and into each she has drowned a simole , homely philosophy,or a sly bit of humor,so reminiscent of the wholesome frankness of childhood.Lastly the author includes bits of verse which she calls, "Some "oems for Mother,"wherein parenthood's tender est sentiments are beautifully Pa>:;e 18 h i • 111 I ^ recorded. She 'treats tfie" whole gauntlet of children's experiences under such situations as "Sick on Christmas," "Biding on a Load of Hay," "My Dog Sho^ny," "Clouds, " f, The Bath Towel," "Stars and Fireflies," "Secrets" and "To Grandma and Grandma". We won't tell the secret, but Fthelmav and Charles found "winter roses'.' £ Here are some quotes from selected noems, the first from "Indian Pipes,"--- "The fairies smoke a ni^e of neacc A quaint o n d meerschaum tyne, For in the woods today I saw an Indian pitej From "God Washed the Little Stars,"--- "God cashed the little stars last night; They blinked their sleepy eyes, Then shut them tight and rested in The cradle of the skies." In "Stars and Fireflies," she closes the poem so,-- "God make a thousand little lights And put them in the narks... I wonder if He lost some stars Or only dropped the sparks?" If you care for humor, this little quatrain,known as "Shine," will doubtless josfe your funnybone : "If you cannot be a spotlight And send your beams afar, Be at least a narking light.,. Shine right where you are!" (All -ooems are copyrighted 1949» and used with permission.)
