Pickle Stew is a delightful medley of verse that celebrates the innocence, predicaments, and jubilance of childhood. Seasoned with the humor of youth and a dash of adult insight, Tyler Snidow's words and rhymes slide off the tongue, teeter-totter in the brain, and skip to their own beat. They recall the magic of bubbles, the frustration of knots in hair, the sheer panic of losing one's underwear, and the confidences that bond us to each other. Whether you are six or sixty-six, you may find a bit of yourself in these playful pages.
