Twenty-six poets from Jane Yolen and Heidi Stemple to
Charles Waters and Marily Singer cheer, wail and salute the classroom in this silly tribute to school.
Calculators and erasers, school buses and pop quizzes,
recess and a school vacation countdown—nothing about the school day (or school
year) is out of bounds in this poetry collection from today’s best children’s poets.
Backmatter includes explanations of poetry techniques used
in the book with specific examples and additional poetry prompts and ideas.
