Last year one of my students' parents gave me this book. We were studying poetry then and she thought it would be a helpful tool for my classroom. WEll she could not have been more right. Each year when poetry time rolls around I grab this book and search for new and fun ways to write poetry. Try the I Made a Mistake poem. Your kids will love it. Mine do. I recommend this book to any teacher or lover of poetry.
My copy of this book is so tattered! I teach poetry at the elementary level and have used this book over and over again with kids from Kindergarten through 6th grade. It's clear, accessible, adaptable and has produced fantastic results every time I use a lesson -- priceless!
