Carla J, Reviewer
I really love poetry books that will draw children in and get them to love reading and writing poetry. This book will do just that.
Brian Cleary first explains what a Quatrain is and how to write one, then he does just that. The poems are in varying rhyming patterns as well as on varying topics. There are topics to delight a wide range of audience. He also shows that they can be short (one stanza) or much longer. The illustrations are wonderful and give the reader an idea of what the author is seeing when he writes the quatrain.
At the end of the book he gives the names of other books on poetry to explore as well as some websites including one containing child written poetry. A must for school libraries and classrooms.
