Poetry
This collection is made up of many classic poems. There are some I am familiar with such as Mary had a Little Lamb and Three Little Kittens. There also were some that were new to me such as My Shadow and The Sugar Plum Tree. There are many poems that both young boys and girls woud enjoy. I even enjoyed them myself!
The illustrations vary from poem to poem. Sometimes the poem and pictures are separate. Other times the text is within the illustrations. The illustrations look to be done with pastels. The colors are a mixture of warm and cool. I love how the poems are brought to life and how much the ilustrations personify the characters in the poems.
There are so may classroom connections within this collection. One in particular called Good Night and Good Morning could be used to have a science lesson about what makes day and night happen. There are also many animal poems that could go along with a lesson about animals. You could also do a solar system lesson using Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. This book does not have any awards.
