Animal Poetry

Fourth graders are beginning units on poetry this week. Several students came into the library, encouraged by their teachers, to take out poetry books.   I booktalked National Geographic's Book of Animal Poetry to one class. The book is organized by themes based on size, type, sound, and others with helpful icons to let you know what section you are in. It has breathtaking photography that National Geographic is oh so famous for that enhances the choice selection of poems. Needless to say, several students wanted to check it out. There will surely be a "stampede of students waiting for this book!
