This book can link to my teaching in the classroom by promoting themes of empathy, respect for wildlife, and the importance of gentle interactions with animals, which are crucial lessons for young children.

This charming story, illustrated by the award-winning artist, uses humor and playful illustrations to teach young readers about the importance of kindness and respecting nature.

“Mix a pancake,
Stir a pancake,
Pop it in the pan;
Fry the pancake,
Toss the pancake-
Catch it if you can.”

blurb
Reece203914

The book starts with a poem about how to write a poem which would be a great introduction into learning how to write poems. Great for upper grades to use during a poetry unit or even for lower grade levels to learn about rhyming words and during units about animals. You can tie this into a lot of different units and grade levels!

It features funny and thoughtful “how-to“ poems from different writers, both old and new, covering a range of topics. Richard Jones's lovely illustrations make the poems come alive, making it a delightful read for kids.

blurb

I would use this book across all ages, some poems are more complex than others. Some have a deeper meaning that could be fun to investigate with older children, while others are great for younger students as they are learning the rhythm or beat of poems. There are many times where you can spot rhyming words, making this an enjoyable read.

This book is a collection of poems. Each poem uses a “How to” format for all kinds of different activities. Some poems are more serious while others are light and playful. Since each poem is different and from different authors there are many types of poetry elements, including, sound patterns, figurative language, rhythm, and sense imagery.

The Proper Way to Meet a Hedgehog and Other How-to Poems was selected by Paul B. Janeczko and illustrated by Richard Jones. It was published in 2019. I read the poem titled How to Scare Monsters whose sound pattern included rhyming words. It was very short but to the point. The book had poems that were very silly, positive, and fun to read.

In this book, there are multiple poems. These poems offer an instructional guide on how to do various things. For example, one poem I read was “Mix a Pancake.“ This poem shares instructions on how to make a pancake and keeps it engaging through the use of rhyming.

The illustrations are very simple which makes the poems seem more calm. They coordinate with the poem, and many of them are backgrounds that cover the page.

This book is a collection of poems. Each page has a different poem. I personally enjoyed other poetry books more than this one. While there was a variety of poems in this book, I did not feel that many resonated with me.
