Poets include: Jack Prelutsky, J. Patrick Lewis, Joyce Sidman, Margarita Engle, Marilyn Singer, Nikki Grimes, Alma Flor Ada, F. Isabel Campoy, Ibtisam Barakat, Uma Krishnaswami, Francisco X. Alarc�n, Linda Sue Park, Jane Yolen, Kenn Nesbitt, Jorge Argueta, Grace Lin, Joseph Bruchac, Douglas Florian, Laura Purdie Salas, Carmen T. Bernier-Grand, and 95 others. 

And did I mention that every poem is presented in both English AND Spanish? We are so excited to offer this additional access point for even more future poetry lovers!

As usual, the Teacher/Librarian Edition contains "Take 5!" activities, but this time we include picture book pairings for every poem and extra tips for sharing, plus booklists, and (CCSS, TEKS, and NCSS) skills charts. We removed all that "adult stuff" from the Children's Edition and inserted illustrations. Both are available on Amazon and QEPBooks.com (best if you need to use a purchase order).
