Poetry Friday is hosted today by NoWater River.
My selection is "Wonderful words : poems about reading, writing,speaking, and listening" selected by Lee Bennett Hopkins and illustrated
by Karen Barbour.
I couldn't resist sharing this
fun collection of poems that encourage creativity and invite readers to
discover the power and fun of words. Hopkins'
selected verses are by some of our best known poets and touch on a variety of topics both broad and
specific: from finding your own creativity and embracing the joy of reading to
works entitled "Metaphor" and "The Period."
Barbour's boldly colored
illustrations are a delight to the eye.
Teachers will find multiple
uses for this book as both an introduction to and inspiration for writing.
