Happy Valentine's Day! I Haiku You!


I Haiku You
by (Ohio author) Betsy E. Snyder
Random House Books for Young Readers, 2012
review copy from my classroom library

What (or who) do you love? Betsy Snyder's twenty haiku love poems will definitely make you want to write a few of your own.

Here are some my students came up with to share with you today -- Happy Valentine's Day!

cute little faces
hopping around behind me --
look, it's the bunnies!

I love chocolate!
It melts on my tongue so slow.
Chocolate is the best!

Delicious, sweetness!
I share my cookies with friends!
Cookies are my world!

I love monster trucks.
They do front flips and back flips.
They go really high.

They're with you always --
annoying you, comforting...
but they're still family.

Buzzer beater: SWISH!
I really like basketball --
the best game ever.

Pizza, I love you.
Pizza, pizza, you're so good.
Pizza, so good and juicy.

Dance, dance, I love it!
Every day my body moves.
I cannot stop it!

Japan is the best!
Japan has yummy food, so...
Japan is the best!

Dark carmel chocolate
with a little bitterness --
it's really creamy.

Your chocolately taste
is really really yummy.
Brownies are awesome!

Your music is the best.
You guys are so funny.
Oh, One Direction!!

I love oatmeal,
brown sugar especially.
It smells really good.

I so love bacon!
So yummy in my tummy!
So, so delicious!

Valentines for Book Lovers

Our bestbestbest Year of Reading Valentine was received from Jennifer and Matt Holm: copies of BABYMOUSE HEARTBREAKER for each of us and for our school libraries! Thank you Jennifer and Matt!

In a close second place is the Chronicle Books Best Chronicle Children's Books of the Year Contest. This is not a one-time deal, folks! Visit their site often to check out the great books AND because the contests are on-going, with a different children's books-related theme (and prizes!) changing about every 6 weeks to two months.

Sharing second place is TokyoPop, who sent a fat package of review copies just in time for Snow Day, the Sequel!

Grand Prize, of course, comes this afternoon, when the winners of the Cybils are announced!
