The Ice cream store is a good poetry book for children. It has different poems and has a sense of humor. The grade level for this book is 2-4.
This poetry book is full of rhyming and the imagination of young children and their everyday lives. This book would be perfect for all ages, but mostly for elementary aged students.

Summary: This poem is about this ladies underwear that are on the line hanging there probably drying. They are pretty underwear they have never looked so fine. These underwear are polka dot. There just dancing and prancing on the line that's basically all there is to this poem.

Tags and subject headings would be humorous and funny.

My response: I liked this poem but I think some teachers or even some people would think this poem is inappropriate for little children to read because it has the word underwear in it. Other then that though I thought it was a funny poem.
The books is full of rhythm and mostly talk about everyday life. There animals and people going somewhere or doing something on different time. The setting is taking in many places. I like this book because it very cute and funny. I will use it in my classroom to read shorter poem to younger children. It suitable for any grade because there short and long poem.
Animal Theme what kind you have or what kind you'd like to have. Picture of them and what you'd like to do with them. Works great on Blessing of the pets day at school.
