Poems to Celebrate Picture Book Month!


Piles of Picture Books 
 by Charles Ghigna 

I like reading picture books.
I sit and take my time.
I listen to each story.
I listen to each rhyme.
Read the entire poem at Charles Ghigna's Blog. 

One of my favorite little poetry anthologies . . .

Good Books Good Times 
by Lee Bennett Hopkins

Good books.
Good times.
Good stories.
Good rhymes.
Good beginnings.
Good ends.
Good people.
Good friends.
Good fiction.
Good facts.
Good adventures.
Good acts.
Good stories.
Good rhymes.
Good books
Good times.
This month, one of the ways  my students and I will celebrate Picture Book Month, is by reading and reciting poetry about books!
