My 6yo "loves" the illustrations. I'm fond of e.e. cummings. ( )

Exceptional poem written by renowned poet, E.E. Cummings. "hist whist," can be read in K-2nd grade classrooms. Students will learn that not all poetry rhymes. This poem presents children with the concept of poetry taking many different forms. Similar to other poems by Cummings, there are a number of made up words, and sound-based words, like, "ooch," "ach," and "wheeEEE." The spooky theme would make this a terrific read-aloud option for the fall season.

Sometimes poetry does not make the best children's book even if it is e.e. cummings, his poem illustrated. Not suited for storytime ( )
