Song of the Water Boatman and Other Pond Poems by Joyce Sidman

4.0

Song of the Water Boatman and Other Pond Poems by Joyce Sidman was chosen for the poetry/verse category. I really enjoyed this book. I especially liked how with each poem was informational facts about the pond creatures featured within the poem on the same page. My favorite poem was In the Depths of the Summer Pond, I liked the repeating verse of the story! Much the same as "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly". I also really liked the illustrations within this story. There were very detailed illustrations of the illusive creatures within the poems. They were well done illustrations and I definitely enjoyed the large strokes and bright colors within this story!
