Obtain The 20th Century Childrens Poetry Treasury Executed By Jack Prelutsky Displayed In Version

dense, packed with poetry, art has a nice retro fifties feel, Might be offputting for kids considering small type and tons of poetry but teachers and adults should appreciate the scope of the collection This book is filled with lots of different kinds of poems for children.
I like that the variety allows you to use this book with lots of different ages, Some of the poems are short and rhyming which the younger kids will enjoy, while others are longer and don't rhyme, which is good so that students don't mistakenly think all poetry needs to rhyme.
My favorite poem in the book is "Be Glad Your Nose Is on Your Face, " Overall great poetry resource for the classroom, My favorite poems were

I think it helps that I like Jack Prelutsky's style, so I also like most of the things by other poets that he chooses.
There are lots of delightful poems throughout the whole book, loosely grouped with similar themes sharing pages, I don't particularly favor the illustration style, but it's energetic and colorful, so it works, If you had to get just one book of poetry for your kid, I'd say this should be it.
I originally picked this book up to read because of the illustrator, Meilo So, whom I adore, I thought I'd like a few poems but wasn't expecting anything different from the heaps of children's poetry anthologies out there.
I am delighted to say I was wrong! First of all, while reading this I realized that because there are so many children's poetry anthologies, an amazing illustrator like Meilo So can make all the difference in the world.
Secondly, there were a handful of poems included in this anthology I hadn't read before, My favorite poems were 'At the Library' by Nikki Grimes, 'The Secret Place' by Dennis Lee, 'Some People' by Rachel Field, and 'Dragonfly' by Rebecca Kai Dotlich, which I'll include.


"This skyballerina, this glimmering jewel, glides in a gown of lucid blue with wings that you could whisper through.
" This is a lovely collection of poems for children, with poems on animals, seasons, body parts, actions i, e. running, children's games there's a lovely poem on jacks and so much more, It's a great book to introduce your kids to the joy of poetry, And the illustrations are wonderful and fun, Theth Century Children's Poetry selected by Jack Prelutsky containswonderful poems that relate to children of the century.
With topics such as sibling rivalry, monsters, school, nature, and self reflection the book identifies with the many moods and interests of children.
The poems range from simple to complex and challenging, thought provoking concepts, but with language that is appropriate for children.
This book would be great to accommodate the many interests of students in our classes maybe having a child select one each day to share out loud with the group.
My Heart Sours was my favorite poem in the collection, I also appreciated the index that allows readers to preview the variety of topics and the index of authors that would allow students to make connections about a particular author they enjoyed.
The illustrations are cute and whimsical and the bright colors make the book appealing to young children, They are able to see a wide range of styles of poetry and the organization of topics by pages and illustrations would help with making comparisons.
I would begin my poetry unit by reading "A poem is a little path" in hopes of sparking their interest and love for poetry.
I think this text would be appropriate for gradesbecause of the wide range of complexities and lessons that would accompany this poetry! Poems that span the twentieth century.
Poems that celebrate life and beauty, Cuddly, happy, serious, silly poems, poems, poems two hundred eleven in all, Color and water give lovely impressions, but don't cramp the feel of the words, What a delightful book this is,

With every reading the book gets better, I have struggled with enjoying poetry, but I keep feeling drawn to it, Perhaps if there had been someone in my life that loved poetry the journey may have been easier, but now I can say I love poetry, and this little volume had a lot to do with it.
I have so enjoyed reading a few poems every night, Each one is like a little emotional treasure, a whole story in a few lines, a launching pad for my own feelings and thoughts.


Meilo So is a poet with a brush, Her illustrations are at turns beautiful and whimsical, touching and capricious, My favorite picture is on pages, I love the colors and the birds other pages with favorite pictures are, a magic carpet ride, I love fall colors, the marsh, a mountain vista.
A fantastic collection of poetry for a wide range of ages, Beautiful watercolor images accompanying the poems add depth and appeal to this book, The subject matter varies greatly from one page to the next making this book a good fit for different personalities.
Reading this aloud was an experience that opened lots of discussions and laughter, Its a good addition to any childs bookshelf, A collection of more thanpoems by such modern poets as Nikki Grimes, John Ciardi, Karla Kuskin, Ted Hughes, e.

I appreciate the way the pages seem to flow from theme to theme the composition and placement make sense.
It contains a nice variety, and the overall effect is very enjoyable, It's hilarious that I have owned theth Century Children's Book Treasury for YEARS and never once did it occur to me that this book might have some hidden gems of its own and it's not because I don't love poetry!

IT wasn't my intention to get this book either, no no, I wanted the Book Treasury, Time was against me so I went with this book and I'm so glad I did, It's got such a wonderful collection of poems from authors that are known and loved by children and adults alike.
Each page has several poems with a certain theme and all come with fun and colorful illustrations, If you wanted to give a child a gift, I don't think there's anything better than a book I know that I still have my books from childhood on my personal shelves and theth Century Book Treasury is one of them.
This is a book that is fun, inspiring, beautiful, and well worth the time, They'd make greatminute bedtime reads that, I believe, would truly spark a love for reading, and poetry, in parent and child alike.
Loved it and I highly recommend it! Such a collection of poems, We had this from the library book so we've just scratched the surface, Kth grades
Another great poetry book from Jack Prelutsky, This collection has such an anthologic variety of poem topics, from the subject of wolfs to summertime to the month of June.
The pages are filled with many poems from many different authors, The

text on each page is relatively small, needing a teacher to be the reader for younger children, or it could be used as a read alone for the upper grades.
Some illustrations run across the pages while others sit nicely at the bottom, I would recommend this book to any teacher wanting to introduce poetry in their classroom,

For lower grades, new illustrations could be assigned to the poem Afternoon on a Hill by Edna St.
