IF I WERE IN CHARGE OF THE WORLD AND OTHER WORRIES: POEMS FOR CHILDREN AND THEIR PARENTS

Book ID/图书代码： 03900015B85672

English Summary/英文概要： If I were in charge of the world I’d cancel oatmeal, Monday mornings, Allergy shots, and also Sara Steinberg. All of us have times when we wish that we were in charge of the world...when we envy girls with ten best friends and gold watches...when we take an eight-block detour to avoid bumping into bullies like Stanley the Fierce...when we question whether princes and princesses really do live happily ever after...when we wonder how grownups ever get to be grown up enough to stop being scared of the dark. This book of poems is for everyone who has ever had trouble apologizing, or loved a cat, or talked too much, or burped. This book of poems is for everyone who could use a little help in turning some of their worries into laughter.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 如果我是这个世界的主宰我会取消周一的早晨的燕麦片，过敏疫苗注射，和Sara Steinberg。如果我们有时间的话，我们希望能管理世界......当我们羡慕一个有着十个挚友和金表的女孩......当我们绕了八条街区，只为不要碰到像Stanley这样的恶霸......当我们质疑王子和公主是否真的过得很幸福......当我们想知道大人是在多大时，开始晚上不再怕黑。这本是献给每一位身陷迷茫的少年的一部轻松诗作。(Sandy)

Awards/获奖情况：I, too, got this book in approximately the third grade -- 17 years ago. I am now teaching middle school literature and share this collection with all of my students; I also have given it as a gift to every person under the sun, no matter what their age! It remains, unquestionably, my favorite collection of poetry, if not for its content, then for its sheer simplicity and "perfection." (If you read it, you’ll understand what I mean...) Judith Viorst magically captures the sadness, scariness, uncertainty, and immense joys of childhood and adolescence -- her rhymes are clever, too! As I return to these poems as an adult, I find them as applicable today as they were more than ten years ago. Thank you, Ms. Viorst, for such an wonderful book!

About the Author/作者介绍： Judith Viorst says that she has been writing always -- "or at least since I was seven or eight, when I composed an ode to my dead parents, both of whom were alive and well and, when they read my poem, extremely annoyed." She has written many books for children, including the acclaimed Alexander and the Terrible Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, If I Were in Charge of the World...and Other Worries, and I’ll Fix Anthony as well as several books of poetry and prose for adults. She is also a contributing editor to Redbook magazine. Mrs. Viorst lives in Washington, D.C., with her husband, Milton, a political writer. They have three sons -- Anthony, Nicholas, and Alexander.
