Lemonade and Other Poems Squeezed from a Single Word by Bob Raczka
I admit it....it took me a few pages to figure it all out...and then I realized the "answers" were on the back of the page! Part acrostic, part concrete, part puzzle, these clever poems are written using the letters from the title/theme of each poem and each poem is written down the page as the letters fall into place. Playground becomes "run/around/and/play/loud/land". The poem Television becomes "set/is/on/I/sit". Illustrations are limited to just small on the page with the poem in red, gray, black and white. Kids will love the challenge of reading the poems and then creating their own.
Story: 5 Buckeye Leaves
Illustrations: 4 Buckeye leaves
