It’s National Poetry Month, so why not celebrate with these classics:
Where the Sidewalk Ends, Don’t Bump the Glump, The Giving Tree … Ring a bell?! Who doesn’t have fond memories of curling up with these Shel Silverstein hits! Check out Silverstein’s website! You won’t be disappointed. This site is SO much fun for both children and adults. You can watch animations for each of Silverstein’s books, you can find printables and activities about poetry, and you can try your hand at writing some poetry as well! Click here to start! -Anna
…and how about cracking open a volume by Billy Collins, one of my favorite contemporary American poets? SAILING ALONE AROUND THE ROOM is magnificent, as are all of his titles. Let’s hear it for Billy!
I too have fond memories of reading Shel Silverstein’s poetry my favorite is the giving tree.
