Great, Good, Bad
A great book is a homing device
For navigating paradise.
A good book somehow makes you care
About the comfort of a chair.
A bad book owes to man trees
A forest of apologies.
From Please Bury Me in the Library by J. Patrick Lewis
A poem can do many things for the reader. It can send them into a journey into the imagination. A poem can sate the obvious in new and exciting ways. Poems can be used to help the reader to make new connections.
When reading Science Verse I was in awe of the cleaver way new ideas were presented. The book will make an exceptional addition to my classroom library. Science topics can be enhanced with the addition of these creative poems to the unit.
