Welcome to Litsy!

I love how this book offers poem writing tools and help for children. Great!!!

Publication Date: 2005
Intended for: Children of writing age
Proper Illustrations: Yes, not a fan of them though
Storyline: several poems and poem writing tools for children

I especially loved that the author provided three poems based on the specific topic. This helps the mind creatively thinking about the topic and makes it easier for when they do the “poemstart.”

This book is great for students that like poetry and would like some practice at writing their own. I think that they way the author laid out the book makes poetry seem like so much fun and actually pretty easy especially for beginning poets.

"Nothing on a bulldog's face
Seems to have a proper place."

I almost adopted a bulldog over spring break so I loved reading a poem about bulldogs.

I really liked this poetry book. I loved that every page had a central theme and there was a "poemstart" which allowed the children to finish a poem. I absolutely loved this. My favorite page was the bulldog page because I almost adopted a bulldog over Spring Break. It would be fun to read a central theme of poems to my students and then have them finish their own poem.
