Rainbow Soup: Adventures in Poetry by Brian Cleary is a fun way for kids to learn about different types of poetry. The author includes short annotations with explanations of each type of poem with his humorous verses that include limericks, puns, palindromes, and more!

ChelseaPerez Cleary invites readers to "Come romp with me amongst the words./Come play amongst the phrases./Swing and climb from pun to rhyme/And hop through versey mazes." He addresses difficult concepts and defines terms and forms such as meter, iambic, personification, concrete poems, and parody. His explanations are simple and are sure to engage young readers 6y

kkidwell I love the idea of choral reading for this text! I feel like poetry is often overlooked in classrooms now a days. Providing a link that helps us, as future educators, see how simple it is to incorporate it is awesome and extremely beneficial. 6y
