I personally liked this book. I really liked the main poem 'Dirty Dinky' because it talks about something or someone misbehaving and then at the end it says "watch out it may be you". I thought about how I would like to blame my messy house on someone else.
I would definately have the students write a poem about a special creature. I would tell them they could make one up or use their favorite animal. I would have them write at least one line of information about their creature. Then we would draw a picture of the creature and hang them up for everyone to see. ( )
