Review of Seaside Poems

Being someone who loves the ocean I loved reading poems about them. Even though they are directed towards children I still enjoyed reading them. The pictures were bright and colorful. They made you want to get up and do to the beach! My favorite poem was "Goodness gracious" because it reminded me of my grandmother. When we would visit her in Florida she would always swim laps in ocean and all we could see was her bright swimming cap. All of the poems in this book are fun to read. They poems range from getting sand in you lunch, to sea shells and rocks, and to the boats in the harbor. These would be great to read to a young class if your teaching them about the ocean.
