“ I‘m topping my pizza with mountains of cheese, with acres of peppers, pimentos, and peas”

It incorporates many different elements of poetry, exposing kids to a wide variety of things. The rhythm is east to follow and the poems are lighthearted and fun which would make it a great introduction

This book has poems on pizza. It is very entertaining and fun to imagine the things that the author is saying in the poem. This would be great for younger children learning to work with poetry. It w corporates many different elements and it is very creative.

“I did a nutty somersault and landed with a thump. I struggled to my feet again and tumbled on my rump.”

I like that this book has little illustrations around it because it makes the book more interesting for young readers

This book has a variety of poems and includes rhymes and patterns. There are also little pictures around the poems that go along with each title.

Fun reads. Different poems, about all different things children explore

Cute book! Uses different themes within poetry. Also different lengths.

Because we all need this kind of encouragement.

This was another extremely fun example of poetry. It had rhymes that flowed naturally and were easy to follow, and it had images that enhanced the silliness of the poems. Children will definitely engage with these poems.

I would use this in a future classroom because the short, concise, and silly poems will get the children really interested in learning about poetry.

“My fish is gone, I flush my fish“

“My fish is gone,

“My pizza is sure to be one of a kind, my pizza will leave other pizza behind.“

This book would be great for 2nd and 3rd graders. They would love the rhyming and it would help them get familiar with how to rhyme what. I would read this to younger classes but I think its great for older classes because they could read it on their own.

This is a poetry book. This book uses a lot of rhyming throughout the story. Each word rhymes at the end of each sentence. For example the words sun and ton. This poems rhyming sounds natural.

“The oven is hot, I believe it will take a year and a half for my pizza to bake.”

I loved how silly and fun this authors books are. I‘ll be sure to keep several of his poetry books in my classroom.

This book has clever and funny poems. It‘s sure to suck kids in with it‘s entertaining language and fun topics.

“The over is hot, I believe it will take a year and a half for my pizza to bake.”

Cute little illustrations too.

A great book with quirky little poems. Some language might be more advanced so it would be good for older grades, but also great to just read once a day or so.

A Pizza the Size of the Sun (P) by Jack Prelutsky and illustrations by James Stevenson would be a great book to do a Read Aloud (RA) with. This poetry book it filled with cute, quirky poems that would be a great book to read to your kids during a poetry unit in English. The vocabulary in these poems, such as I‘m Wrestling with an Octopus, can be advanced; however, it will help strengthen student‘s vocabulary skills. The UDL principle used is 2.1,
