If I Were in Charge of the World and Other Worries

Forty-one poems that look at ordinary things in unusual ways. "Viorst takes everyday situations that frustrate, bewilder, or bemuse and turns them into fodder for her audience's personal laugh tracks. . . . (She) succeeds in bringing out the fun in human foibles and her poems that twist traditional fairy-tale endings are positively inspired."--"Booklist."
