Lucy the Valiant Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I'm looking for books that illustrate famous / classic children's poems - books where the whole book *IS* the poem (i.e., ones I can read out loud in a group setting). I'm willing / able to buy a few, but am hoping to find others at our library. Also looking for picture books ABOUT poets - like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Poetry-Young-People-Emily-Dickinson/dp/0806906359/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1310215063&sr=8-13 If you have any that you just love, would you help me by recommending them?

Missouri Okie Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 This is not really a children's poem, but my son (6 yo) has enjoyed this book: http://www.amazon.com/Paul-Reveres-Henry-Wadsworth-Longfellow/dp/0140556125/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1310217125&sr=8-2 As part of our American history studies this year, we are going to read this poem: http://www.amazon.com/America-Beautiful-Katharine-Bates/dp/0399238859/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1310217213&sr=1-1 A couple of seasonal favorites: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0836246225/ref=s9_simh_gw_p14_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0VZM7PXQRMF8Y9Q903AE&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846 and http://www.amazon.com/Night-Before-Christmas-Clement-Moore/dp/0060081600/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1310217364&sr=1-2 Finally, this is a folk song with pictures but reads like a poem (both my kids LOVED this): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0152047611/ref=s9_bbs_gw_d0_ir02?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1TSNMSGA2579SK3APAA7&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Blue House Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Oh my!! I should have read your post more carefully! I linked the same book that you linked in your post. Sorry about that. I'll be thinking of books that actually meet your criteria. ;) Oh, just thought of one...Hiawatha by Longfellow http://www.amazon.com/Hiawatha-Picture-Puffins-Wadsworth-Longfellow/dp/0140558829/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1310219751&sr=1-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
