Poems that tickle all of a young reader's senses. Children create order in their world by relying on their five senses and their experiences. In this engaging anthology, young readers are inspired to use those senses and experiences to discover the myriad delights of poetry. Educators Christine San José and Bill Johnson have selected more than sixty poems—some classic, some contemporary, some from kids themselves—to amuse young readers and spark their imaginations. These poems tell stories, create unusual sounds, and paint delightful pictures to appeal to children's sense of wonder. A note to parents on how to use the book is included.

About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
Christine San José is a former senior editor of Highlights for Children and she served as language arts editor for Zaner-Bloser, Inc. She has done consulting work in language arts in England, Peru, Israel, and the United States. She is a storyteller of considerable talent and finds that a great help in her writing. She lives in Honesdale, Pennsylvania.
Bill Johnson has been an educational consultant for more than thirty years, and as a former classroom teacher he was selected Teacher of the Year in school districts in Michigan and Pennsylvania. He lives in Honesdale, Pennsylvania.
Melanie Hall has illustrated a number of books for children and is well known for her Jewish Holiday Series. She lives in Olivebridge, New York
Kindergarten-Grade 4—San José and Johnson contend that their selections in this cheerful anthology are organized to serve Howard Gardner's groups of intelligences: language, senses (eyes, ears, movement), rational thinking, dealing with others, and knowledge of ourselves. The compilers also want to encourage readers to write their own poems and occasionally nudge them in that direction in brief notes heading each lively section ("Imagine That," "Wiggle, Waggle, Shimmy, Shake," and more). Spread across a broad white page or two and accompanied by pleasant watercolor figures and vignettes, the poems come from widely varied poets, familiar and new. Mixed throughout are entries by children whose names and ages are given. While sources for the poems by adults are acknowledged in the end, San José and Johnson never explain the origins of the children's poems. This slim volume will provide many moments of reading and listening pleasure.—Margaret Bush, Simmons College, Boston END
