BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
33 Poems by so many poets - from Kwame Alexander to Robert Louis Stevenson we learn not only how to meet a hedgehog, but also how to toast marshmallows, how to bird watch, how to catch a snowflake and make a snow angel, how to read braille, and even how to say a prayer. Paul Janeczko has collected a beautiful selection of poetry which has been paired with the perfect illustrations by Richard Jones. It's nostalgic and new, funny and poignant. A great addition to an elementary school library - do children memorize poems anymore? This would be a great source.
