Barnyard Slam

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Paul Meisel. Goose organizes a barn-wide poetry slam. Each animal brings a unique poetry style--and a personal complaint--to the "stage." The poems are funny but overstuffed with puns, and some of the humor may be lost on younger listeners. The variety of silly soliloquies would shine in a read-aloud or reader's-theater activity. Cartoony watercolor and pencil barn scenes match the story's light tone.
