April is National Poetry Month. We hope you and your children enjoy poems as much as we do! We're going to take a few days to look at some of our favorite books of poems.
I Am the Book, poems selected by Lee Bennett Hopkins and
illustrated by Yayo, is a great book of poems to start looking at poems. This collection by Hopkins sparks
thinking about the written word through different poems by different poems with
the common theme of celebrating reading.
The illustrations by Yayo are fun to explore while also being thought
provoking. We recommend a picture walk to discover all of the clever ways that books are depicted by the
artist. This book would make
a great gift to a child or a child’s teacher. I think this book should be in every library!
*Which poem is your favorite?
*Which illustration makes you smile?
*Where are all of the places a book can take you?
*Can you think of a way to draw another illustration that corresponds to this book?
