(2) K-3 Illustrated by G. Brian Karas. Mr. Tiffin's students (How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin?) are preparing for a famous poet's visit. Initially confident in her own abilities, Elinor grows worried when her poetry knowledge doesn't translate into being able to write poetry herself. The kids' poetry may inspire young readers to attempt their own, especially since the diverse group of classmates look like they're having fun in Karas's gouache, acrylic, and pencil pictures.
