Celebrate National Poetry Month! Echoes for the Eye (Poems to Celebrate Patterns in Nature),
by Barbara Juster Esbensen and illustrated by Helen K. Davie, is a fun book to
celebrate poetry and nature. We
like to look for patterns in nature so this book was especially interesting to
us. Esbensen categorizes the
patterns of nature into the following categories: Spirals, Branches, Polygons, Meanders, and Circles. Examples of poems in the Branches category
are poems about veins and lightning.
This book is a thought provoking collection! The illustrations encourage a picture walk, possibly before
and after reading. We hope you
enjoying reading and viewing these poems!
*What’s your favorite poem? Picture?

*Can you think of other patterns?
