This book has many different styles of poems throughout the entire book, but each poem is about one specific animal. For example, one poem is about hummingbirds, another about dolphins, and one about elephants. There are so many different animals in this poem book, and I really enjoyed that each poem is styled differently and sounds completely different than other poems in the book. I also enjoyed that at the end of the book, there is an index that has all the animals and the page number that the poem is on.
I would definitely use this book in my classroom because it shows children that not all poems have to rhyme and there are many different types of poems. An appropriate grade level is 1st-3rd because there are some more complex vocabulary words that might be difficult for younger children to grasp. This book would be good to use to show children the different types of poetry and then have them create their own unique poem.
