Welcome to Litsy!

“Tony was all white, large, sturdy, with wide gentle eyes and a ton of love.”

I think children would like this book especially because it is about a horse and children tend to love animals.

Tony by Ed Galing. I liked the story of Tony the horse. Tony always carried around a wagon full of milk, butter, and eggs. The illustrations were my favorite part about the book. The words and pictures are calming. I also liked how the words were simple.

“I knew that Tony did a little dance.”

I would read this to my students because it is easy for them to understand and look at pictures!

Tony was written by Ed Galing and published in 2017. The book is about a horse and his driver. The horse does wonderful things and helps out in any way he can. The book is one big poem with little snippets on each page. I like the illustrations because they are simplistic but creative.

A sweet, soothing book with the tone of a lullaby about a horse named Tony and his owner. It has calming colors and soft lines and a soft, easy tone even though it doesn‘t rhyme

Tony by Ed Galing (poetry, published 2017) is about a big, white, loving horse and his man Tom. It isn‘t a typical poem, but it has a lullaby-ish rhythm to it and is nice to read. I found it to be relaxing, with the east reading and calming illustrations.

“And as they pulled away, I knew that Tony did a little dance.”

The illustrations of the penciling in this book are amazing. Really caught my eye!

Tony by Ed Galing published in 2017 was a cute short poem about a horse named Tony. Tony was a very loved horse by many people! And he always carried around a wagon full of milk, butter, and eggs.and his owners name was Tom Jones. It is a very short poem and I think younger children would really enjoy this quick read.

This is a book that I would like to have in my classroom because it is a great opportunity to discuss how pictures make us feel, and how colors are used to evoke feeling. Also a great way to introduce writing about animals the kids like or pets they have at home

Published in 2017- Tony is a unique story. What really stands out in this book is the illustrations. They are sketches that almost make you feel like you‘re there with them in the middle of the night. It evokes a calm feeling. The words are simple, but they have great meaning. The person describing the horse (Tony) loves him and did not need big words to show that. The poem does not rhyme, but tells a story, and evokes a feeling in the reader

“Tony. That is his name.“

This poem would be great for 3rd graders as it shows a different form of poetry not many people use.

This book was an interesting but face paced read. Not repetitive in any way but very descriptive. The sound of the poem is very somber.

“Tony was all white, large, sturdy, with wide gentle eyes and a ton of love.”

I would not use this book in my future classroom because I think that students would find it uninteresting because of how slow it feels to read.

This is a good poem book because it creates a sensory images of sight.
