Hey You! C'Mere: A Poetry Slam

48 pp. | Scholastic/Levine | March, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-439-09257-4 $$15.95
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Joe Cepeda. After an introductory exhortation to readers that "You can be the poet and you can be the poem too," a multiracial group of city kids take turns versifying about everything from bullies and thunderstorms to family members and food. The high-energy verse, accompanied by pictures splashed with a palette of hot colors, could easily inspire kids--and whole classrooms--to create their own poetry slams.
