Get Your Poetic License!
Children's Books by Barbara Bietz -Many young readers don't know a lot about poetry beyond Dr. Suess and perhaps Shel Silverstein.
There are many wonderful poets, collections of poems, and books about poetry that can engage kids of all ages. Poems can be fun, silly, interesting, and thought provoking. The more one understands about poetry, the more interesting it becomes. Children who have an early introduction to poetry have a great chance of connecting to literature in their future.

LIKE A MACCABEE
.
Like A Maccabee - This middle-grade chapter book tells the story of Ben, a 10-year-old boy who is gearing up for a championship soccer game while adjusting to the changes in his family that have occurred since his grandfather moved in. Ben faces challenges at school, including the bully from the opposing soccer team, and frustrations at home.
Master poet Jack Prelutsky shares his personal sources of inspiration for his poems, and offers young poets valuable writing tips and personal words of encouragement. Good humor, coupled with excellent advice will enlighten and inspire even the most reluctant young poet.
An outstanding selection for a more serious young poet who yearns to learn more about the technical aspects of poetry and all its subtleties. Along with writing technique, interviews with accomplished poets are included in the text. Poetry Matters is a wonderful selection for a child (or adult) who shows interest in reading or writing poetry.
