this book is very fun. Silverstein‘s drawings are whimsical and eye catching.

I‘d like to include this whole poem as a quote just because it‘s a play on words because it‘s kind of like reading things is hypnotizing you because it‘s all you‘re thinking about is what you‘re reading. Oh, this is a really great poem and made you think after you‘re done reading it.

My dad and I always read the Shell Silverstein poem books, and I always loved the pictures. They were so odd and interesting you couldn‘t keep your eyes off them. But like his poems, they are quite odd. They go perfectly along with the picture.

The classic following up by shell Silverstein is a collection of poems necessarily go together. He has a little rhyming words which we can be confusing for kids because when kids think of poems, I think a rhyming words.

The he'll wipe off his lips with the sails of your ship, And making a buripty noise, He'll slither away - but hey that's okay, You don't have to pick up your toys.

This is a book I read when I was a kid and it was fun to read back through some of the poems I enjoyed when I was a kid and still enjoy now.

Published in 1996, is the perfect story to introduce poems to children. It‘s a book an adult would have to read aloud but it‘s a bunch of wacky poems and will show how fun poems can be

This book is a collection of poetry written by Shel Silverstein. (I did my author study on him) I love his writing style as well as his silly illustrations so this one was definitely fun for me to read through. It won the Booklist Editors award in 1996. This read aloud goes through the first part of the poems in the book and reads clearly. https://youtu.be/dy2MsP-aclw UDL principle- 1.1 offer ways of customizing the display of information.

ReaganT The read aloud also goes well with ESOL principle 38- assign short readings for homework. All of the poems are short and they could listen to just a few on the internet at home! 4y
DrSpalding All students at the elementary level should experience this poets work! English learner strategy 38 works perfectly. Use his website too! 4y

I grabbed this volume at random, but I should have gone with the earlier ones. Most of these poems missed the mark for me, but I remember enjoying a lot as a kid (which would have been Where the Sidewalk Ends and A Light in the Attic).

This puts me at 1157/1000 pages for #JoysofJune and I‘m thrilled to say I met all my goals! Thanks for a good readathon @Andrew65

Andrew65 Fantastic, well done and thanks for taking part. 🍾🥂👏👏👏🙌😊👍😁 4y

This book is a funny & engaging way for students to get into P! These poems use humor & a great example of poetry for all ages. I would incorporate Silversteins poems during a RA or AS. He is an interesting character. The UDL strategy 1.3 to incorporate pictures & visuals to represent poems. ESOL strategy 14 to RA clear & at a slow pace. Also 5.2 with graphic organizes from the resources provided.

HappyMaddy I got the resource from Shel Silverstein website Shelsilverstein.com/learning 5y
DrSpalding Going straight to the poet is a wise move. His poetry anthologies belong in your elementary, middle or high school classroom library. These poems never get old and can be used to enhance fluency. 5y

This book is good for 2nd and 3rd graders. These grades would love a book like this while learning poetry. These books show lots of different materials with funny stories. These grades will be able to read these on their own with only a little help.

This is a poetry book. This is a great book for kids to read in class. This book uses lots of rhythms to make the book exciting. Each page is different but the poems all have a rhyme.

Falling Up is a collection of poems by Shel Silverstein. It was published in 1996. This collection of poems is amazing there are so many great examples of rhyme and rhythm and so many other elements of poetry. I like that all the poems are so random, they give a nice range of purposes. I really enjoy Shell‘s illustrations as well.

All of Shel Silverstein's books were so nostalgic to me. I loved hearing that they were in the library and I can't wait to share these stories with the children in my classroom. I don't just think these stories are a classroom pick, I think that they are a staple for the classroom.

This 1996 collection of poems each tells a different story. They are all rhyming and have such a great rhythm. They are all very short poems but each one has such charming humor. I think that kids and adults alike would love these poems. They were short and succinct.
