If you are wondering about me and where I could be on a day that drips hot and thick like honey walk down the river and around the bend to flat rocks, warm and waiting and there I will be and you will find me swimming.
I really likes the book and would implement it in my classroom as a way to introduce poetry. It can be very interactive especially in young readers and young grades. I would also do this accordingly to the dates that are in the book and coordinate fun activities to do with them. It is a great way to talk to students about the different structures of poems.

“you can taste the sunshine
and the buzzing
and the breeze
while eating berries off the bush
on berry hands
and berry knees“
