Illustrated by James Stevenson
Jack Prelutsky is the man when it comes to children's poetry. His poems are so much fun. I really enjoyed reading through them, they are simple and rhyme, and just a good time to read. Stevenson's illustration are simple, but add humor to the experience.
I think this would be a great book to introduce young students to poetry. Prelutsky's poems are very accessible, and the topics are very relatable for elementary school aged children. I'm sure that students would have a ball doing choral readings from the poems in the book, and a lot of the poems could lend themselves as themes to art projects as well.
