Creating Readers with Poetry
The message in Creating Readers with Poetry is simple and strong: Poetry helps children learn to read! In this innovative resource, Nile Stanley offers you teaching techniques that transform reading from a two-dimensional world of boredom and frustration into a three-dimensional world of voice, movement, and artistic expression. He shows you how poetry supports the teaching of reading and allows students to relax and blossom. His mini-lessons and engaging activity poems provide standards-based reading instruction that also build community, confidence, and enthusiasm. He includes a CD of sung and spoken poetry performed by noted children's poets and students to use as instructional models.
Poetry People
Dr. Sylvia Vardell's new children's poetry reference book provides a comprehensive introduction to more than 60 contemporary young people's poets. Focusing primarily on those who are still actively writing today, the author includes poets appropriate for young children through young adults. Each entry features brief biographical information, highlights selected poetry books authored, showcases awards won, notes related Web sites, and provides suggestions for making connections (programming ideas, related books and activities). The book is ideal for librarians who serve children and young adults, as well as for teachers and others who work with children and young adults. Beginning with Arnold Adoff the list of poets is both impressive and informative. A sample: Francisco Alarcon, Aileen Fisher, Douglas Florian, Nikki Giovanni, Kristine O'Connell George, Jane Yolen, Eloise Greenfield, John Ciardi and many more!

Maybe You!: Poems and Plays For Science As Inquiry
A tool for teachers and parents with which they can ask students to act out science content and learn. Asking teachers and parents to hold the attention of a video screen generation as a talking head giving a lecture is like asking them to flap their arms and try to fly. It's not going to happen. Instead we can give them dramatic literature; poems, monologues, and dialogues that are rich, fun, and entertaining while complete with curriculum content so children can act them out and experience the content as though it is real life.

School Fever
A kid's-eye view of school, crammed with enough funny to fill a big yellow bus! Snappy and hilarious in true Brod Bagert style, these goofy poems are united by their kid authenticity and quirky school themes.

Robert Neubecker's bright, dynamic artwork propels each poem into another stratosphere of funny. By the end, kids will have contracted a different strain of school fever altogether. "Kids will appreciate the humor and will see themselves in the high-energy narrator"—Booklist
