School Supplies: A Book of Poems
Selected by Lee Bennett Hopkins
Illustrated by Renee Flower
Published by Simon & Schuster,
1996
 | I thought this book was excellent. The poems
were very well written. They were humorous and very enjoyable. The
illustrations were also very well done. They were large, bright, and
colorful. |
| The author of this book takes a wide variety of
poems about school supplies including pencils, paper clips, books, erasers,
as well as others and puts them all together into one book. |
| This book would be excellent for elementary age
children. Because the poems are all about school supplies, they could
definitely be read in the classroom, but they could be read at home as well.
Children will love the creative personifications of the objects. |
| I would definitely recommend this book to
elementary school students. It encourages language development and helps the
child enjoy poetry. Children love it because the poems are funny and are
about things that children recognize and can understand. I think that this
is a book that every elementary school teacher should have. |
