2018 School Spending Survey Report
Gr 1-4–”I had a poem in my pocket, / but my pocket got a rip. / Rhymes tumbled down my leg / and trickled from my hip.” As the poem visually flows out of the narrator’s pocket, the watercolor illustrations draw readers in. Every page gives way to flying words, wild combinations of lettering, enthralling cityscapes, and the black-haired, brown-skinned narrator on a quest to find a poem. At the end of the story is a challenge to locate rhyming words on each page, finding mixed-up words, and other fun activities. The author also includes where to find more information about “Poem in Your Pocket Day.” Children who have never been able access poetry before may be inspired to craft a line or two of their own.
VERDICT Whether for classes that celebrate “Poem in Your Pocket Day” or students who love rhyming wordplay, this book is a gift.
