Poetry 1 - Always Wondering


Title:  Always Wondering
Author: Aileen Fisher
Illustrator: Joan Sandin
Publisher: Charlotte Zolotow Book
Date: 1991
Age Range: All

Summary: The author selects some of the most requested poems from her own work, grouped under such headings as "Think About People," "Suddenly", and "Whoever Planned The World"

Strengths:

Most of the poems are short and sweet.  They would be great openers for the beginning of a lesson.

Concerns:
Like I said above the poems are "short and sweet" but this also works against them.  They aren't the most interesting poems but they are still a nice read.
