Book Spine poems are a good way to practice reading and writing, and it helps you see what cool materials the library has. Not sure what a book spine poem is? You stack up books so that their titles make a poem. They can be funny or serious and about anything you want! Here are a few examples using books from our picture book collection.

I don’t understand

the poem about the red wheelbarrow

and the white chickens

and why so much depends upon

them.

 

If that is a poem

about the red wheelbarrow

and the white chickens

then any words

can be a poem.

You’ve just got to

make

short

lines.

 

This month for Read With Me Book Club we are reading a novel in verse, Love That Dog by Sharon Creech, to get ready for National Poetry Month. Jack isn’t sure about this whole poetry thing but his teacher Miss Stretchberry encourages him to keep writing. To find out more about Jack and Miss Stretchberry read the book and come to book club!
