Book Review
Eenie, meenie, Manitoba
1996
Overview
This book contains some reworked traditional rhymes and some original poems. \"To Be or Not to Be\" is an updated version of \"Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor\" with modern occupations added and all possible offensive stereotypes expunged. \"Nova Scotia Lobster\" is the skipping rhyme \"Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear\" in crustaceans clothing. Others are original, and, like the title poem, many contain Canadian place names. Some of these poems read well, but Heidbreder's sense of rhythm is often just a bit off the beat. As a result, some poems lurch rather than skip, and are not easy to read aloud. This is too bad because children like a strong, reliable rhythm in their poetry.
