Book Description:
What is a Spoonerism? How many syllables are in a Haiku? What makes a palindrome a palindrome? The answers to these questions and many more are in this witty and wise collection, which invites readers to discover the joy of language and introduces them to literary and historical figures from Shakespeare and Gertrude Stein to Mel Brooks and Zbigniew Brzezinski. The twenty-three poems are accompanied by educational and entertaining explanatory notes, as well as a glossary, making this book perfect for classroom use. With bold, graphic illustrations by New Yorker cover artist Ha, this book is sure to entice people of all ages - even those suffering from poetryphobia (from the Greek; fear of poetry).

The suggested age on this one is way off. I would say this could be:
entertaining to the young ones.(3-6)
great intro to styles of poetry (7-9)
helpful in writing your own poetry (7-100)
The bottom of each page has great insights, written as if the author was chatting with you;telling you where some of the ideas came from for the poem on that page.
This is a great classroom tool as well as a fun reading book at home.

Amusing and thought provoking. My 12 yo son and I read this together from the library, and he wouldn't take it back! Gramma bought it for him for his birthday. The authors use many different literary styles, and sneak in lots of education. We have memorized many of the selections. This also stimulated us to continue word play and to write some poetry of our own.

Imagine a book that has a whole collection of fun games that ignite a child's love of language. Imagine a child getting excited about homonyms, and even vowels! (as in "Murder most vowel" - a game you'll want to play along with them). Imagine a compendium of playful ways to exercise your childýs language skills (and your own, by the way) through the mental calisthenics and verbal acrobatics presented in this highly imaginative book.
This book will excite a child's mind, and ... Read More
