This P book would be great for IR with its fun variety of poems about many different animals. Each page has a picture and a poem describing an animal and how they eat. This book would be great for students to pick up and read a few poems during free time, maybe when they don‘t have enough time to read a whole picture book, they can read a couple poems. The book inspires student choice and

Chaseb and interests, with all the different animals, students are likely to find some that interest them!

Chaseb ESOL strategy 4 link the lesson to students prior knowledge works with the animals because they can think about what they already know about some animals while learning about others.
I think this book is a great poetry option to have in your elementary classroom!

TabathaA Thank you for this review, Chase. It is difficult to find many poetry picture books that young students would find interesting. I believe the animals will help with that, as it is something everyone can relate to. Already added to my TBR stack. Thanks again! 3y

DrSpalding PBS is an excellent resource that you should continue to seek out for assistance/ideas in your elementary classroom. Choral reading and poetry go hand-in-hand. Excellent book selection. 3y
