Customer Reviews

A good introduction to poetry for children

This book is a good tool for introducing poetry to children and sparking their interest. Afterall, all poets were kids once, and something got us interested in the craft.

Great for teachers

This book is a great tool to use in order to promote higher order thinking skills in upper elementary and middle school students. It helps children to use their imaginations, and write with more descriptive language.
