It Doesn't Always Have To Rhyme

Author and Illustrator: Eve Merriam, Malcom Spooner
Genre:Poetry
Awards:
Grades: 2nd-6th

This poetry book consist of different types of poems written by Eve Merriam. This poetry book begins with the poem, Inside a poem.This poem coneys the message of unconventional poems; it does not have to rhyme, or be structured. This poem also touches on the imagination of what poetry could bring. The poems, Onomatopoeia and Onomatopoeia II, are free verse poems. They have the exact same text except Onomatopoeia II is not in the typical stanza; the words are scattered down the page. 

This book would be beneficial to an educator teaching a unit plan on poetry. Although all of these poems are written by the same author, there is a variety of poetry forms. An educator could use this poetry book to provide examples of different types of poetry. I would not personally use this book as I hope to teach Pre-K or Kindergarten.
