Color Me a Rhyme: Nature Poems for Young People

I have my elementary age students write color poems every year. I will use this book to inspire them. The photographs are beautiful and include synonyms for each color. The poems range from fairly long, to short haikus. There are also quotes to go along with each color - many from Mother Goose. I enjoy Jane Yolen's writings and this did not disappoint.

Used to help my students visualize what an author is saying. The poem about the pink is one of my favorites in the book.

This is a great book for reading and dreaming in color and rhyme. It is a fun read aloud and expands color vocabulary.

Great book to teach children about descriptive language, ie. the use of color in poemsBeautiful artwork in book!!

I really like this book of poems. The pictures are lovely. Some poems have just a few lines and some poems are longer. The second language students and native English speaking students enjoy these poems.

I didn't think it was right for what I ordered it for. It didn't really capture my attention. I was disappointed.

This is a good book for teaching writing skills

This is a softcover book. I recieved this in the folded in half. whoever packaged it should be instructed how to send such an item.
