[ISLMA-Share] Title Suggestions? Stories told through poems

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Depends on what age.  But, Gone Fishing by Tamera Will Wissinger is great
for ages 6 - 9.  A story of a boy excited about an upcoming fishing trip.
Each page is a different type of poem.  This is a great way to introduce
young student to poetry and show that stories CAN be told through poetry.
