Reviews

Grade 1–3— Sharing the same format and (except for the poetry and related commentary) some of the same content, these books begin with a section called "What Is Poetry?" Here, simple terms like line, rhythm, and stanza are explained using examples from a short poem. An "I Can Read" section follows, with five or six compositions easy enough for early readers. In "Read with Me," the selections are a bit more difficult. "Kids' Corner" provides two poems written by children. Last is a spread of writing ideas called "Become a Poet!" The quality of the entries varies, from classics such as Eleanor Farjeon's "Cat!" to others that are less memorable. The colorful, simple graphics are greeting-card bland. Still, these books have appealing elements and offer some helpful ideas. If you can only buy one, Guppies is probably the best for both literary quality and child appeal.—Lauralyn Persson, Wilmette Public Library, IL
