Welcome to Litsy!

In the poem “Six“ about the spiders, I really appreciated the rhyming that happened between the words “glittering, glistening, glistering and glimmering“

This collection would be a perfect read a loud for a kindergarten to second grade classroom. The kids would be interested in the illustrations and connections to math. This would be a great transition between a language arts lesson to a math lesson.

These playful poems tell the story of one elk, two birds, three fish and so on from one to ten than many. The marvelous photographs in this collection really put the whole poem together and allow the reader to peak at the everyday life of common creatures. This book has many forms of rhythm to show children the many different ways to rhyme. Each poem is based off the number presented to teach more about numbers in a different form.

A teacher should definitely have this in their classroom but probably read it to the students

Count Me a Rhyme by Jane Yolen was written in 2006. I really liked reading this book and enjoyed all the different animals in the poems! Also, I like how it includes numbers and counts up.

“One single solo me, the only one that I can see.”

I like this book because it incorporates a lot! The counting, animal facts, and the rhyming are all good lessons for the children.

Count Me a Rhyme by Jane Yolen was published in 2006. The book goes through the numbers 1-10 with poems written about animals. The children can learn counting skills as well as animal facts.
