PreS-Gr 4–This lyrical text describes the ins and outs of the poem. A poem can be any shape or size. A poem can make anything a different shape or size. Words can be made up and words can rhyme. Words can be repeated, or not at all. This text comes with simple but creative illustrations that allows poets of every age to be inspired. These illustrations help the reader visualize the poetry being read. Spare art against white background. Written in both English and Spanish, this text is the perfect introductory read for Poetry Month or a poetry unit for any grade, from early childhood and even middle school.
VERDICT A strong choice for bilingual picture book collections.
