Title: Night on Neighborhood Street
Publisher: Dial Books Date: 1991
Age level: PreK Primary (K-2)
Summary:
This is a book of poems that revolve around Neighborhood Street. They include poems about many of the African American children and parents that live on the street, and about the street itself.
Strengths:
The poems in this book are great for young children to relate to. Many of the situations in the book are scenarios that children could have found themselves in, or will find themselves in, in the future. The pictures are colorful and warm, inviting the reader to stay on the page for a while after they have already finished reading the poem. Everything is light and easy, a great read – and a quick one too!
Concerns:
My only concern about this book is that there should be more poems. It is a picture book however, so it makes sense to have so few. The book is designed so well that there would easily be more added and it would still be read!
Classroom use/Other comments:
This book is great for teaching about simple poems, and showing them to the class. It is a great book for read aloud or individual reading because the pictures are so wonderful. It can teach the students a lot.
