This was absolutely wonderful. I loved it, but I also didn't read it alone. These poems are meant to be read aloud with others. They're musical and delightful and I highly recommend it.

These make great read-alouds for kids to practice in the hall together and then present in front of the class. They are neat to listen to.

I first found this book in middle school forensics, and I've just loved it, (and companion I Am Phoenix) ever since! The poetry is fun, and interesting for young readers, but also really good for the poetry, as well! There is an audio version of the two books together which is absolutely delightful, and is performed by an ensemble including several very talented children's voices along with the adults.
And for those who enjoy the style, there is a much more current picture book of multiple voice poetry about our solar system: The Day the Universe Exploded My Head! Also wonderful, and well worth picking up!

A delightful jaunt through the insectarium via poetry from the perspective of the bugs and insects themselves. While lovely to read in solitude, it is magnificent when read aloud by two voices simultaneously, as it was intended. Highly recommend.

Reading 14 books without an interlude for poetry might be a record for me. It was a lovely return. Hopefully I won't wait as long next time.
