The Best Poetry Books
Reading poems can be a lot of fun for kids. With these children’s poetry books on the homepage, children will gain a new appreciation of poetry and the spoken word.
Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices
The entertaining sounds of insects fill these poems by Paul Fleischman, making it a favorite with 12 — 15-year-olds. These poems were written to be read aloud by two readers.
Paul Fleischman received the 1989 Newbery Medal for Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices. Other recognition included: Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, the PEN Center USA Literary Award and so on.
Eric Beddows’ detailed pencil pictures, are vivid and effective complements to the poetry, which brings insects to life when it is read aloud by two voices.
You Read to Me, I’ll Read to You: Very Short Mother Goose Tales to Read Together
Poet Mary Ann Hoberman is the author of the picture book, which includes the joyful pictures of Michael Emberley. The book contains very short story poems for two people to read aloud, alternately and together. Each of the 12 stories for 6 — 11-year-olds features rhythm, rhyme, and repetition, as well as humor and attention on the joys of reading.
The book is one of a series of story poems. All the books are designed to be read aloud by two people, as if, says Hoberman, it’s “a little play for two voices”. The two people can be an adult and a child or two children.
Big Talk: Poems for Four Voices
Poems for four voices are much more challenging to present than poems for two voices, but middle school students tend to enjoy the challenge. The three-story poems in it will appeal to middle schoolers. The author, Paul Fleischman, provides a clear description of how to use the book. The poems are color-coded to make them easier for the four readers to keep track of their parts.
I Am Phoenix: Poems for Two Voices
The fifteen poems for two voices in the book are all about birds. Ken Nutt’s soft pencil pictures complement the poems by Paul Fleischman. The words of each poem are in two columns, each to be read by one person, sometimes individually, sometimes together.
