Some magic doesn't announce itself. It waits in a pebble on the sidewalk, a puddle after rain, a worm named Willie worrying about absolutely everything. It waits for someone to slow down long enough to notice.
Meet Markus, a boy who can't walk past an ordinary thing without stopping to admire it. Where you might see loose pebbles on a sidewalk, Markus sees a parade ... and when one falls behind, he simply helps it catch up. That's all it takes. One small kindness, and soon the whole village is watching pebbles march, because Markus noticed first, and noticing turns out to be contagious. He has a phrase he saves for only the most genuinely wonderful discoveries: "ReMARKable!"
Beside him is Neener, who spreads joy everywhere she goes without ever quite realizing she's doing it, and her enormous, endlessly patient cat, Zelda, who asks for nothing but company. Together they wander through a whimsical, illustrated world full of worried worms, runaway dictionaries, snack-food armies, imaginary rabbits who may not be so imaginary after all, and a boy whose Saturday disaster turns out to be exactly what the day needed.
Turn the page and you'll meet a girl who collects sad days as carefully as happy ones, a boy who can't stop singing at the most inconvenient moments, and a monster under the bed who isn't quite what you'd expect once you work up the nerve to look. Every poem in this collection treats the small, real dramas of childhood with the seriousness they actually deserve.
These poems don't explain their own magic. They don't stop to spell out a lesson. They simply notice something small, wonder about it a little, and trust the reader to feel the rest ... the way the best childhood moments always have.
Funny, gentle, and quietly wise, Simple Poems: Whimsy, Wonder and Other Important Things is for kids who ask a lot of "why," and for the grown-ups reading along beside them, who might just catch themselves looking a little closer at their own ordinary Tuesday.
Come look closer. Something ReMARKable is waiting.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
