Messing Around on the Monkey Bars: And Other School Poems for Two Voices

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Jessie Hartland. Franco provides a fresh and dynamic crop of school poems for multiple voices with steady rhythms and humor. Illustrated instructions at the beginning of the book show readers how the text's various typefaces identify suggestions for different voices. The clear and interactive presentation elevates the solid content, and Hartland's whimsical paintings (featuring a multi-ethnic cast of kids) add to the playfulness.
