Polka-Bats and Octopus Slacks: 14 Stories

This was kind of a silly collection of poems. They are all funny and the illustrations are vibrant. This collection is of seemingly random poems but my students really enjoyed this! They liked the silly little poems and they laughed and laughed. I would bring this book out to study short poems with students.

Polkabats and Octopus slacks is a book of poems which will make you laugh at their calm absurdity. The poems involve many odd things, including sleeping fruit, skeleton flowers and invasive snails.

This book of poems was very interesting. It was ideas that crossed the authors mind, then he made a poem out of it. I enjoyed the book a lot the different stories and the illustrations make you think. It is a very weird book, but its the weird ones we remember most. I would suggest this book to other teachers, and I would have a copy in my classroom library. I would also use this book in my curriculum on poetry.

Vivid words in surprising combinations that are fun to say. Goofy illustrations suit the poems well.
