K-3Poetry Builders series.
Illustrated by
Reginald Butler.
These how-to poetry books focus on friends writing poems together. The stories, though contrived, clearly present the characteristics of each form. Teachers will find the volumes useful for making poetry accessible to students. A few helpful writing exercises are appended to each story. Colorful but undistinguished illustrations show a multicultural cast of enthusiastic young writers. Reading list, websites. Glos.
