Shhhhh…. Sneak reading at work…. My book is in my drawer #nerd #readyfortheweekend #booklover

This would be a fun read leading up to day of the dead. 💀 🎃 👻 🧛

I love this book as the message it gives is one that my dad stressed to me as a child. I think that the message treat others how you would like to be treated is so important for all students to hear.

“You see, Penelope, children are the same as us on the inside, just tastier.”

This book is a lighthearted book about a dinosaur that can't help but eat the classmates. This is a good book for younger students about inclusivity and making new friends. The overall theme of this book is treat others the way you want to be treated, which is an important theme for younger kids.

“If you want to share a poem with me,
Give it to the tall birch tree.
Or if you need a friend for writing,
Playing with, or sit beside-ing,
I'll be here for you joyfully,
Right beneath the Poetree“.

This book contains various elements of poetry including the use of sound patterns and a sense of imagery in order to tell the story. The poems written both by Sylvia and Walt were filled with rhyming phrases that portrayed the world and nature around them during the season of spring. The poems focused on the readers sense of smell, sight, and sounds as they each created vivid imagery of what we experience during the spring season.

This story is about a young girl named Sylvia who wrote a poem and shared it with a tree in the park, tying it to its trunk. The next day she found a new poem tied to the tree. Sylvia was is disbelief that the tree had written a poem back to her. Sylvia comes to find out that the poems where not from the tree but rather a young boy in her class. The two kids become friends and continued to trade rhymes under the tree that brought the together.
