About the Author:
From Booklist:
Lee Bennett Hopkins's poetry anthologies include Days to Celebrate, Marvelous Math, which won a Parents' Choice Gold Award and was a Reading Rainbow selection, Spectacular Science, and Got Geography! He has also received a Christopher Award and the University of Southern Mississippi's Medallion for “lasting contributions to children's literature." Lee Bennett Hopkins lives in Cape Coral, Florida.
Contributed by well-known poets for young people (Jane Yolen, J. Patrick Lewis, Alice Schertle, among others), the poems in this bright compilation in the I Can Read! series describe a wide range of school experiences, from humorous scenes of hamsters on the loose to students’ dreaming up their own lines of verse: “Pencil stub, I must / ask myself: How many more / poems are in you?” The selections range in style from haikus to free verse, although many poems follow a bouncy, rhyming structure. All are written in accessible words targeted straight to emerging readers, but pre-literate children will appreciate hearing descriptions of warm classroom moments, such as finding a sweet note from Mom in a lunch bag and a story time spent “close to friends / on a fuzzy red rug / like one big family.” The jellybean-bright, cartoon-style illustrations sometimes overwhelm the words on busy spreads, but these reassuring poems will find an accepting audience among both young readers and listeners. Preschool-Grade 3. --Gillian Engberg
