beths0103's review against another edition
5.0
Stunning illustrations (I especially love the porcupine) and beautifully crafted poems make this a treasured collection for any classroom library. This is one of those books that would be great to generate discussions about poetry because there are so many wonderful poetic devices used. Not every poem is going to make sense to students, but that's OK. That can be a great place to talk about this need teachers have to try to interpret everything to death. Sometimes we just need to celebrate and appreciate the beauty of language without having to understand every single word.

I liked about 4 of the poems and ALL of the illustrations in this book.

I have no idea who I would share this with? The pictures are neat but the poems don’t always trip off my tongue. Do kids read books like this on their own? Mine didn’t but they were allergic to poetry.
