Use poems for reading displays in the library or classroom. Easy poetry reading to recommend for kids.

A wonderful compilation of poetry perfect for k- 3rd grade children. Many of the poems are about books and reading. ( )

Definitely one of the better poetry collections that I've ever read. I was truly impressed with every piece selected in this book. Very well done. I like one of the poems so much, I think I'm going to have it painted on my wall of my library. Wonderful. ( )

Books fall open, you fall in,
delighted where you've never been;
hear voices not once heard before,
reach world on world through door on door;
find unexpected keys to things
... locked up beyond imaginings.
What might you be, perhaps become,
because one book is somewhere? Some
wise delver into wisdom, wit,
and wherewithal has written it.
True books will venture, dare you out,
whisper secrets, maybe shout,
across the gloom to you in need,
who hanker for a book to read.

This is a great book that I picked out for my poetry novel. It uses poetry/poems to encourage children to read. This book can be used to offer students a fun introduction to daily reading time by reading a poem aloud each day. My favorite poem was about a boy who loves to read, and by the time he reads all the books in the library, he will grow a long beard because it will take him so long to read them!
