I want to share with you today a fun book of poems from Timberdoodle, A Whale of a Time. A Whale of a Time is geared for kids 7-10 years old or 2nd-5th grade.
This hardback book is so fun! It contains funny poems for each day of the year (366 in total). I love how it encourages children to listen to poetry while also introducing them to a plethora of poetic styles and forms. The boys have found the poems to be short and amusing. The vibrant illustrations found on double-page spreads are fun and engaging and created with various mediums - pen, pain, crayons, digital, etc.
Poems from August
The boys were exposed to various poems during their school last year so it is fun to pick up on that this year with our new book. We plan to continue reading a poem a day as part of our homeschool curriculum. I love that you can just jump in on whatever day it is, no need to wait for January 1st. Also, you can just read the poem or discuss more in depth as you see fit.
I like that our book has an organized layout with a monthly index, above you can see the index for August, which is what we have been working our way through so far. If you are looking for a kid-friendly poetry book with delightful artwork we highly recommend A Whale of a Time!
