Incredible Inventions

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Julia Sarcone-Roach. Sixteen poets contemplate sixteen inventions. From haiku-like verse about basketballs to a straw-shaped poem about--you guessed it--straws, Hopkins has selected poems that engagingly relate the stories, or even speak from the points of view, of items whose invention readers may not have contemplated. Sarcone-Roach's acrylic and mixed-media illustrations give the inventions center stage. "Behind the Inventions" provides more information. Timeline.
