Overview

"Celebrated performance poet Sara Holbrook's poems range from begging for a few more minutes' sleep to a ""slam-dancing ride"" on the big yellow bus, from the teacher who picks up signals with ""antennae in her hair"" to a full-on zombie invasion. Silly, serious, and everything in between, these poems show kids that poetry is not just for grown-ups! Writing prompts and mini poetry lessons throughout introduce readers to many of the elements of poetry and invite kids to write poems of their own."
