Poetry Friday
Franco explores life in
elementary school in this humorous collection of poems designed for reading
aloud. Students will identify with experiences that include losing lunch money,
new classmates, bus rides, schoolwork, and lost and found. Variations in
typeface indicate different or combined voices and there are notes with
presentation suggestions about "adventurous ways to read the poems."
Hartland's whimsical
artwork features a colorful, kid-friendly style that will delight the book's
audience.

This sounds like a great collection for the classroom. I think kids really enjoy poems for multiple voices. Thanks for sharing it!
Reading this cover I'm suddenly mindful of the fact that I haven't seen monkey bars in a school playground for a very long time. So many old favourites that have failed to stand the test of workplace health and safety... I'm intrigued by this - a whole book o two-part poetry. And tips to boot. Sounds fabulous!
Janet, what a delight book this is that you brought to our attention. It would probably be a hit in the classroom. I wish there was a site like this when I was a reading teacher in the elementary grades. Then, I would have titles and poems at my fingertips.
