I'm tempted to say that I'm not a poetry fan, but that wouldn't be entirely true. What I'm not a fan of is SERIOUS poetry. Adult poetry. Ponderous poetry. What I loooove is what poetry becomes in the hands of some with a silly sensibility, a way with words, and an audience of kids. Alice Schertle's "Button Up!: Wrinkled Rhymes" (2009) is a lesser-known but wonderful example of this. 👟👟👟 A book of clever, funny poems about clothing, written from the clothes' point of view, and illustrated in charming detail by Petra Mathers, this is a fun exploration of familiar objects from new perspectives. I love poetry for short storytimes and for prompting conversation with young kids. This is a great one to add to your library list! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutsclassickidlit #noodlenutskidsbooks #buttonupwrinkledrhymes #buttonup #wrinkledrhymes #aliceschertle #petramathers #poetry #poemsforkids #poetryforkids #poetrybooksforkids #childrenspoems #childrenspoetry #readpoetrytoyourkids #ilovereading #booknerd #fortheloveofpoetry #booksbooksbooks #readaloudrevival #readingwithkids #childrensliteracy #kidsbookshelf #childrensbookart #teachersunite #kidsbookreview #booksinverse #literacyskills #schoollibrarian #schoollibrary #kindergartenliteracy https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ksymcnh3o/?igshid=fje5veoewfel
