Grade level: Kindergarten-5th Grade
This book has so many different types of poems and has such a huge variety for all grade types! There isn't an index or glossary, but it is easy to flip through and find a poem you want because of the illustrations. This book has such a wide variety of poems, some poems only 4 lines, and some poems fill up a whole page! The illustrations in the book are very bright and colored, but they don't take away from the poem at all and actually enhance each of the poems.
I would definitely use this book in my classroom! The poems are very well written and the illustrations would draw the children in. I definitely think the grade range is Kindergarten-5th because some of the poems are very simple and some of the poems are more complex and would be great for upper elementary. I would use this book in my classroom to introduce poetry and rhyming words with the simple poems, but with the more complex poems, students would be able to analyze and explore the poems.
