Here's a Little Poem: A Very First Book of Poetrycollected by Jane Yolen and Andrew Fusek Peters
illustrated by Polly Dunbar
published by Candlewick Press, MA, 2007
Summary: "Here's a Little Poem gathers poems from various parts of the English-speaking world, including Great Britain, the Caribbean, Australia, and the U.S."
Strengths: This excellent collection of sweet and funny poems are depicted in beautiful illustrations. I like the diverse characters and the fun interpretations of poems about everyday topics.
Concerns: The bedtime poems may be more appropriate for parents to read to children before bed than for school.
Classroom Use/Other Comments: Children aged 3 and up will enjoy these poems. Students can select a poem to improve fluency and learn about language.
