God got a dog

I thought it was a book by Cynthia Rylant I'd missed, but it wasn't; instead, it's a book-taken-from-a-book, poems taken from God Went to Beauty School, illustrated by the amazing Marla Frazee.

Here's one. Try it and see if you might like to read the whole thing.

God got in a boat

And said, “Wow.”
She'd never actually
floated in a boat, though
She's seen people
out on the water and
told Herself She'd have
to try that someday.
Water had always bored Her
until She started seeing
people having fun on it.
So one day She got in a boat,
said Wow,
and headed out across the lake.
And the whole world looked different....

There's more, but if you liked it so far you probably want to get the book so you can read all the poems. And look at the illustrations.
