“‘Twas brillig, and the smithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogroves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.”

This book has really great language for kids. I think some of the words could be confusing for really young kids, but the poems are super fun and whacky.
“‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves”
Fun book to read and help children understand the rhythm of poems. Great for a classroom because there are so many poems to choose from.
Lots of poetry. Love the one called lone dog. Would be great to make hand motions to go with it.
2009, poetry. Book filled with numerous poems. Many have rhyming schemes that are fun to read aloud. Pictures are fun and vibrant and match the themes of each poem. Some have imaginative words that are fun to read.
Picketty picketty picketty fence
I really enjoyed the poem about the pickety fence
This book is full of different poems that seem to be tongue twisters. The kids in my class would love these types of poems!

#WitchyReads Day 24: This anthology begs to be read aloud to your own children or to your students. There are poems for one, two and three voices. They dance, leap, and swirl off the page – alongside Raschka‘s whimsical, colorful, and incredibly-original artwork. The range of selected poems also include William Shakespeare‘s #Macbeth as it is a poem for three voices. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-4c4
