Everyday objects, freshly defined

A tour through the home becomes a collection of small language puzzles: each short poem introduces an everyday object by weaving together how its name sounds and what it does. The book calls these invented forms “wordspinners,” giving the collection a clear organizing idea and a way to notice familiar household things anew. Its focus on concise poems and wordplay makes language itself part of the subject, alongside the objects found around a house. Amy Hevron provides the illustrations.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers ages 4–8 exploring poetry and wordplay
  • Families seeking short poems to share aloud
  • Children curious about everyday objects and how words work

Book overview

Perfect for fans of A Hole Is to Dig by Ruth Krauss and Maurice Sendak, here is a cozy yet witty collection of short poems about everyday objects that will inspire a love of language in readers ages 3-7.

In this inventive collection of poems, author Irene Latham invites readers to take off their shoes and wander around a wide variety of houses, meeting everyday objects with newfound wonder. These short, thoughtful poems are wordspinners--a new poetry form invented by the author that delightfully defines a word by spinning together its sound and function.

Charmingly illustrated by award-winning Amy Hevron, Come In! Come In! is a poetic celebration that young readers will want to savor over and over.
