The best of the gooney bird series

My 6 year old daughter loves to have "Gooney Bird" books read to her. We listened to this book on the audiobook collection. All the Gooney Bird stories are great. This is the best of the four. In this story, each day the second graders learn another form of poetry. On the final day they are to make a "poem of many voices" but they discover they have a substitute teacher since their teacher's mother has died. The poem the children create to honor their teacher's mother is touching and beautiful. Sometimes a poem may be the best gift of all.
