Fly with Poetry

Fly With Poetry: An ABC of Poetry is author Avis Harley's first book of poetry for children. Actually, it's a book of poetry for children that adults will also love. This colorfully illustrated book takes young and old alike on an alphabetical journey of the many different types of poetry. The whimsical nature of the poems will appeal to children, but the various kinds of poetry will pique adult interest as well. As an educator, I know that many teachers (including myself) are often intimidated by the teaching of poetry. This simple, clever work contains a glossary of poetic terms to accompany the examples of the different types of poetry that will help to ease anyone's "poetry phobia." It also is an excellent companion to X.I. Kennedy's lovely Knock At A Star. Fly With Poetry will take you soaring into the magical world of verse.
