First of all, the illustrations and writing style go together perfectly. The writing style is unique because it creates an aspect of space and rhythm by the use of spaces. For instant the author says "This city: the always n o i s e g r i n d i n g up from the s u b w a y s u n d e r g r o u n d." This abstract way of poetry goes with the illustrations that often incorporate a massive amount of color, strange shapes, and un-proportional figures. I also like that this story is all about music in the city, but each page is about a different kind of sound you would hear. For instance, first it talks about the sound coming out of an open window when someone first wakes up in the morning, and then on the next page it is about the sounds coming from a wading pool in the park. The best part about this book is that even though the poems can stand alone, they flow with the next poem. The last line in each poem connects to the first line in the next. For example, the last line of the second poem is "cold wet colors this hot day" and the first line on the third poem says "the streets are so hot." The main idea of this book are all the sounds that are heard from a city. This is a children's book of poems that are themed around the city and the sounds you hear living in the city. There are 14 poems in this collection and they each have a different topic ranging from traffic sounds to sounds you'd hear in the park. This book could be good for discussing city living or urban settings. It is also a good book to use if discussing what music is and how different people define it. The illustrations in this book are simple and blocky with bright colors and whimsical details. A teacher could utilize this book to conduct a multimodal lesson. Teachers could have students pick their favorite poem and then "write" music they think could accompany it then have them perform it. It could be done in groups as well. Teachers could also have students use instruments in class and interpret the poems with music while reading through it a second or third time. This allows for a multimodal response to the literature and for kids to engage with what they are reading more than by just reading it and seeing the pictures. They can also hear it. “Street Music: City Poems,” by Arnold Adoff is a book of collective poetry with vivid illustrations describing things in the city. There is some rhyming, alliteration, and fun repetition to keep readers entertained. The poems depict and describe typical city scenes such as the noises of the trash truck, music players on the street, or what is seen and heard from a bedroom window at night. The illustrations are fun and the poem’s are written in various shapes, making it fun for readers. I think that this book would be great for a classroom in or out of the city. The poems could help children either understand city life or allow them to relate with whats going on outside their door. I think that they way that the poems are written really attracts the attentions of readers and the fun wordplay could help any picky reader begin to enjoy poetry. Not only that, but the busy illustrations really help readers connect how the city life poems depict the busy streets, making it a very fun read. After reading this story, I would encourage children to write their own poem based on an experience that they have had in the city and have them accompany it with an illustration of what they are describing. I could also create a worksheet and ask the children to find examples of rhyming, alliteration, similes, metaphors, and so on, which was exemplified in some of the poetry from this book. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

However, the illustrations in this book are amazing. The illustrator uses bright, electric colors and stylized drawings of people. The mix of colors and the details in the drawing help portray the city setting. Each picture has so much going on! Honestly, the illustrations were far more interesting that the poems themselves.
The big picture message of this book is that the city is filled with many different types of people and experiences. ( )
