GREAT book of poetry!

All ages will love this book of poems. I have met this author at a workshop and he likes for his poems to be acted out. So practice with your family, pick your favorites, and put on a show!

Turns Kids on to Poetry

I can't say enough about Brod Bagert's work. His poems are so much fun to read aloud. The kids enjoy hearing/reading them because Bagert writes about topics that the kids can relate to. "The Gooch Machine" is a hilarious poem about a boy who invents a machine that controls the teacher's moods. I'm sure that most can make a text-to-self connection to that! : ) This is a purchase that you won't regret.
