Time for Poetry

Mary Hill Arbuthnot. Time for Poetry. Scott, Foresman and Company. 1961, Pages: 207, Reading Level: 2-5rd, Ages: 3-6, Genre: Poetry 

A collection of poetry that is for different ages of students. This book allows children to read the poetry, having the poetry read to them, and relating poetry to other things. I would use this book to help develop my student's imagination. It is always good to have a strong imagination to make reading enjoyable. This book doesn't have that good of illustrations so after they read a poem I would want them to illustrate to help them picture what they just read.

2 3-5	Good book.  You want to read this one. This book has normal vocabulary that the student will already know at their age. Has a little bit of illustrations and students will make a connection within the book sometimes. This book has a beginning, middle, and end. And teachers can maybe incorporate this book within their classroom.
