pick4 ⭐ This collection of children‘s poem from Jack Perlutsky is centered around dragons. Most of the poems are happy or funny, a few heartfelt, but all are lovely. They are all set off by great illustrations by peter sis. This book may be old but it can and will stand the test of time.
“I‘m tired of being a Dragon, ferocious and brimming with flame, the cause of unspeakable terror, when anyone mentions my name”
The pictures in this story are captivating and add beauty and wonder to the poems.
pickThis is a very imaginative and worldly book for the child with sharp learning skills. It introduces young readers to poetry through creative stories and imagination.
“do not tremble at my presence”
I like this whole poem because it is a sweet breakdown of a stereotype of a dragon! It makes the dragon become a fun loving friend for a child!
Love the use of onomatopoeias for children to explore and play around with while reading poetry!! It really gets them engaged and learning all the different poetry elements.
pickPublished in 1993 and illustrated by Peter Sis, this poetry book includes repetition, rhyming, and alliteration! The beautiful words paint pictures of a dragon coming to life and the words create the visual in your mind. This poetry book also includes onomatopoeias for children to enjoy!
My job bores me to tears but sometimes always things like this come along!
If you don't believe in dragons, it is curiously true that the dragons you disparage choose to not believe in you!!! This is such a great book!!!
