I think these have great beginning of school potential.
ReplyDeleteBoth sound great. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMore good books! Thanks Mary Lee!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary Lee. I'm heading over to read your review of "The Pet Project." The elementary schoolers I work with love animal poetry -- a favorite topic.
ReplyDeleteHooray for new books!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome to receive books in the mail. The Pet Project looks like something I'd enjoy. Thanks for sharing these and your reviews of the books too. :)
ReplyDeleteThis beekeeper has added another title to her wishlist. I love poems for 2 voices!
ReplyDeleteI must find these, thanks for the titles. This was a very practical use of a PF post, especially after the craziness of those first days.
ReplyDeleteI love how poems in two voices help children to interact with the poems instead of just glazing over. And Lisa Wheeler's book? My oh my, that looks like so. much. fun!!!
