I keep trying poetry and keep failing. I just don't seem to like it very much. This is a very slim little edition that was at my school's library and we were weeding it since it is old. I thought I would try it, but poetry just isn't for me. I think if you like poetry, this could be decent, but I'm not a good judge.

A lovely little collection of poetry from 1997 exploring the small stuff of nature we might often miss. Writer workshop ready for demonstration of forms and the means by which words might appear upon a page that might challenge the budding, neophyte notion of how a poem "looks."

A robin drinking, a puff of dandelion going out to create spring, "A Small Earthquake in the Ivy" is one of favorites from this collection.

A Tree Place would work well with a nature unit or a unit on meadows and field life.

Actually, I don't understand why the name of this book is A Tree Place and other poems rather than Forest Secrets and other poems?

With this question, I read this book for the second time. I found that a series of poems in this book full with imagination and everthing has life in the main character's eys.

Though I still don't understand the name of the book after reading it second time, 'A Tree Place' is my favorite poem in this book, so I just thought this may be the reason why the author chose it to be the main name because someone must think this poem is the best one in these poems.

Sometimes humorous, informative, inquisitive, or simply creative, this little book of poems is perfect for any child who has difficulty enjoying poetry. The poems are a balanced length for young children and very entertaining.
