REVIEW
“. . . rambunctious . . . . it’s a fun, hip take on traditional bedtime books.”

THE POETRY FRIDAY ANTHOLOGY
This fat, fine-looking volume, The Poetry Friday Anthology, presents 218 poems by 75 poets (including me)—that is, a poem a week for grades kindergarten through fifth grade for an entire school year. The editors are children’s poetry gurus Sylvia Vardell and Janet Wong. Every poem has its own nicely designed, chock-full yet uncluttered page with five activities that tie the poem to curriculum standards. As Sylvia and Janet describe it, each page “include guidance on reading the poem aloud, a creative way to engage students in reading the poem chorally, a discussion prompt, a skill focus, and a link to another related poem or poetry book. In just five minutes, you can lead a poetry break that is enjoyable, meaningful, participatory, and skill-based.” Beautiful!
