This book of poems are very entertaining and funny. Most of the poems are short and engaging. Each page is illustrated well and will capture the students’ attention right away. The topics covered in the poem range from family relationships, friendship, outdoors, pets and many more.
I believe I will use this book in my classroom to initiate transitions and brain breaks. This would be especially good to use when students have been working and on task for a while and they just need to get up and move around a little, take a break from their thinking and then get back on task pretty quickly.
