Title: Here’s a Little Poem: A Very First Book of Poetry
Publisher: Candlewick Press Date: 2007
Age level: PreK Primary (K-2)
Summary:
This is a book filled with over 60 poems for young children. It is broken down into four different categories that relate to children’s lives and filled with wonderful poems that they can relate to.
Strengths:
This book is perfect for a young child who is just learning to read. The poems use simple language and are geared towards young children. They involve ideas and situations that most children have dealt with and talk about things that are familiar to them. The text pops off the page and is really varied. The background colors on each page are different and apply themselves to the individual poem on that page. Also, the illustrations are wonderful and depict small children and life around them in a beautiful way.
Concerns:
I really have no concerns with this book. It accomplishes everything it is trying to accomplish, and it does it well.
Classroom use/Other comments:
This book can be used in early elementary classrooms to help children learn how to read. It can also be used to teach them about love and friendship, and the fun things in life. It is a great read aloud for children as well, because the pictures are so brilliant.
