#DecemberSong Day 11: #HardCandyChristmas reminded me of this poem from Paul Janeczko‘s collection featured by Fats here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-dqU

This book was great. I love that it has various types of poems throughout, but has a constant theme as to how the poems are written. Aside from that, the illustrations were simple and gave the poems a chance to shine.
The constant theme that these poems showed was that most seemed to be very descriptive. By this I mean that not only was the setting explained in great details, but also the feelings or the person. I enjoyed these poems very much.

This book takes a look at “poems through history inspired by objects—earthly and celestial—reflecting the time in which each poet lived...great way to introduce kids to great poetry, and it helps that is has an actual theme that's fun..”

There‘s Billy Collins‘s The Death Of The Hat, read the full poem here: https://avoision.com/2005/06/17/the_death_of_the_hat.php

#LilithJuly Day 9: Fats‘ review: “The Death of #TheHat features 50 poems selected by Paul B. Janeczko accompanied by the beautiful paintings of Chris Raschka. The book explores the nature, form, and subjects of poetry in a span of thousands of years that dates back during the early Middle Ages. It‘s a fun and witty poetry collection for readers of all ages.” Full post with poem excerpts here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-dqU
