Shape Me a Rhyme: Nature's Forms in Poetry

(3) K-3 Photographs by Jason Stemple. This book highlights shapes found in nature. Stemple's photographs show the forms in sharp, vivid close-ups against softly blurred backgrounds. Some are natural fits (e.g., circle = sun), while others require more careful observation (rectangles in a spider web). Yolen's poems are varied in rhyme scheme, and she includes synonyms and other words associated with each shape on the pages.
