Tom Pohrt spent years gathering poems by Wendell Berry that he thought
children might read and appreciate, making sketches to accompany his
selection. Terrapin is the result, a volume of twenty-one poems with
dozens of sketches, drawings, and watercolors. In full color, we have
not only a volume of staggering beauty but a consummate example of the
collaborative effort that is fine bookmaking; the perfect gift for
children, grandchildren, or anyone who remains a lover of the book as
physical object.
