I do book reviews from a reader's point-of-view and try to spread the magic of reading.

Because I could Not Stop My Bike by Karen Jo Shapird
"Because I could not stop my bike
it kindly stopped for me.
Unluckily, it did not stop
until it hit a tree."
Charlesbridge has provided me a copy of this marvelous book of poetry for grade school children (thank you). Matt Faulkner is the illustrator, and he does a very job of creating colorful and fun pictures to go with these romping poems.
Ms. Shapird takes 26 classic poems and reworks them for children using the same rhythms and meters of the originals. It works very well, and children will love reading them.
How can you not like poems like: How Do I Love Ketchup? Let Me Count the Ways; or A Red, Rose Nose?
Introduce your child to poetry that is fun to read and teach them that poetry has a charm of its own.
This book is available now at your local bookstore.
