[Paul Hankins · Rating 4 out of 5]

While this title is celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year, it still serves as a wonderful reminder of the creative process of lead learning withing a learning community. Lee Bennett Hopkins is one of children's poetry's greatest advocates and archivists.

Suggestions for classroom approaches and title shares. What is really nice about this book is that the titles shared here were relatively new when suggested in 1992. Now they serve as an introduction to titles that might need to be revisited.
