Librarian Reviews
Baad Animals
The poems in this book are quirky and comical and encourage active listening. Young children love to move to the rhythm of poetry and to chime in with that final rhyming word. Especially if the poem is very silly. “If you Knew What the Gnu Knew” invites children to play with homonyms. How about emulating this poem with Hare/Heir/Hair or Bear/Bare or Horse/Hoarse? Is your class studying magnets? Use “Don’t Give a Magnet to an Elephant” to create a poem about all the things that might get stuck to a magnet. How about adding members to “Our Club” of animals with weird-sounding names as part of a science or geography unit? This book of poems invites children of all ages to play with words and images. It shows them that poetry can be fun.Tiffany Stone also wrote Floyd the Flamingo and His Flock of Friends.
