Elaine, this is soooo helpful. I just posted a link to your fabulous resources on our book club's Yahoo group. Thank you!
Sara,
So glad I could be of help. I think Sidman is one of the best poets writing for children today.
I love, love, love this book. Our local Children's Literature Network book club, Chapter & Verse, is doing this book this month (don't know if Joyce is going to stop by--I hope so), as well as Walter Dean Myer's Sunrise Over Fallujah. It's going to be fun discussing one of my favorite poetry collections with a group of literature lovers.
