This book is great book of simple poems for children, It would be great to introduce poetry to very young children. The bright pictures and cheery tone are great for classroom. ( )

Too simple, no depth. If a poem is worth pocketing and memorizing, it should be either part of our iconic cultural heritage (think Mother Goose) or say something worth pondering. A few of these qualified, but most were instantly forgettable. But I did find a new-to-me Eve Merriam, so I'm glad I got it from the library. ( )

Poetry can be very powerful. It can take you through so many emotions. I love the idea of just carrying around a poem in your pocket for when you are feel down, alone or just bored. “Keep a poem in your pocket/ and a picture in your head/ and you’ll never feel lonely/ at night when you’re in bed.”This book is a collection of short little pocket sized poems of various topics, from space to seahorses. If I were to keep a poem in my pocket from this collection, it would have to be “English is a Pain!(Pane?).” The poem is about how different words sound the same but are spelled differently (homophones). I love this poem because it’s funny and cute. Also, I completely agree, English is a pain! ( )
