Publisher Description

This Is Just to Say

If you're looking for a nice happy book put this one down and run away quickly.

Forgive me, sweetness and good cheer are boring.

Inspired by William Carlos Williams's famous poem "This Is Just to Say," Newbery Honor author Gail Carson Levine delivers a wickedly funny collection of her own false apology poems, imagining how tricksters really feel about the mischief they make. Matthew Cordell's clever and playful line art lightheartedly captures the spirit of the poetry.

This is the perfect book for anyone who's ever apologized . . . and not really meant it.
