Poetry Friday
is hosted today by Booktalking #kidlit: Anastasia Suen's Blog
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.
