Poems about cake and sweets that were eaten by the character and her family. These are short and fun, they would provide a good introduction to poetry for children. No deeper meanings.

I believe you actually read from this book in class one day. I randomly grabbed this book from East Bank Regional library but I was pleasantly surprised. I think this anthology of poems is a great way to introduce kids to poetry. The poems were simple and easy to understand but they rhymed and really got the point of poetry across. I believe this is a book I would like to have in my classroom one day. I believe reading one poem from this book in the morning would be a great way to start the day.

New Yorker cartoons inspired by Mother Goose rhymes and fairy tales: hilarious and oh, so very "New Yorker."

Full of poems about the yummy treats and desserts we love to eat. Cute book to read just for fun during poetry week. Maybe bring in a yummy dessert for students to eat while reading.
