ReviewsChildren's Literature The presentation of some of the most utilized types of poems--found poems, free verse, haiku, limericks, shape poems--as well as literary terms that all teachers routinely teach are easy to follow in this book. In addition, several pages on the history of poems throughout time and the projects that utilize templates are winners all the way around. The projects shared are sensible in approach and would certainly aid younger poets in remembering how certain terms are used or how to put together specific types of poems. The highlighting of authors throughout time and what each is known for brings added value. The glossary of terms is extensive. Some of the highlighted websites are helpful to those working with kids, while others connect to a poet who writes primarily for younger readers; all are excellent. This book is part of the Explore Your World series and would be a helpful guide for any elementary/middle school teacher looking for additional ways to inspire students love, or at least, interest, in poetry., Praise for Explore Poetry!
