This book is a wonderful collection of children poetry that has a Noah's ark based theme. The poems are fun and use their form to entice children. They are light and clever poems accompanied by sketches that lend to the serene feel of the book. This book would be great in any classroom to:
-introduce children to poetry
-think about the theme of the book
-think about the different animals that the poems are about
-encourage children to write their own poems
-have children illustrate a specific poem of their choice
-explore the forms of the poem and why they look the way they do on the paper
