Almost Late to School is a collection of poems about school. The book starts off with a poem about the first day of school. Then, the topics range from getting along with classmates to detention to what happens after school. These poems will probably make any student laugh! The illustrations in this book are very cute and colorful. Almost Late to School would be a fantastic book to read in a classroom after a very long and stressful day. What I really like about this book is that it does a great job at introducing poetry to children in a very humorous way that they can understand. When you want to look at this book, let me know.

This book is my personal favorite poetry book.  I remember reading this when I was young and all the kids in my class loved it too. Shel Silverstein, the author of many books of prose and poetry, really did a wonderful job with this one. Where the Sidewalk Ends has tons of poems and great illustrations to go along with each one.  Every poem is packed with humor and imagination.  One weekness for might be that it doesn't tell one continuous story.  This book would make an excellent source for a coffee house or readers theater.

This book includes 15 different poems about city life. It includes colorful pictures, tons of metaphors, and beautiful poems. This book depicts what it's like to live in the city by describing it in full detail including all of the 5 senses. Kids will love the pictures and the descriptions. Excellent for showing what it's like to live in a city if you are in a very rural area.
