Poetry for Kids

One of my favorite collections to purchase books for is poetry for kids. There is such diversity among the subjects - math, monsters, weather, school or geography. April is National Poetry Month, so celebrate with some poetry.

Gotta Book is a blog with ambitious aim of posting 30 previously unpublished children's poems in 30 days. Not just any old poems, but poetry from such greats as Nikki Grimes, Jack Prelutsky, Jane Yolen, and Jon Scieszka.

On display now in the Children's Room...poetry, of course! Stop by the Juvenile Non-Fiction section (J 811) and browse for some poetry. Check it out with your child and get some inspiration for some fun family writing of your own!
