This book is a collection of short poems with matching illustrations. This is another great option for primary students who are getting more advanced in their reading. I think this is a great book to draw kids into their reading as they are short and simple yet silly and fun. I again would love to have this in a future classroom library.

I'm very confused on why the author put these specific poems together. They don't relate to each other at all. Also there is only one poem about popcorn in this collection of books. Some of the poems were very short and some were longer. Each poem described the item or thing it was talking about in great detail. The poem also provided the reader with a vivid description of what was happening to the item or thing in the poem. I just didn't like how only one poem in the book was related to the title. I also didn't like that most of the poems didn't relate to each other. There were a couple of poems in the book that talked about a dog named Chelsea, but besides that none of the other poems were related. This prevented the book from flowing and therefore doesn't allow for the reader to connect with it. ( )

This is another poetry book by James Stevenson. I really love his illustrations. I also love how each poem is different, some have big words, some have pictures, each poem is unique. There is a poem about a dog, who has passed away. Not going to lie, I did tear up. Look at that…even short poetry books make me cry. ( )

This is another book of poems that have different types of poems that will make you laugh, cry, think, dream, and more. You can discuss rhyming poems and non-rhyming poems. This is also a good book to learn different poetry types for beginners. ( )

This book is all over the place, in a good way. It switches up on the fonts it uses and you never know what kind of illustration to expect on the next page. It has a lot of onomatopoeia usage that can give the reader great amounts of imagery. It would make for a good lesson on rhyming and different poetry verses. ( )
