 Great for elementary school children October 17, 2008
We left "Pizza, Pigs and Poetry" lying out in the open for our three granddaughters(ages 9, 11 & 13)to discover--which they did. Within a day or so, they were writing their own short poems--much of it very good. We made no effort to teach them nor did we encourage them. They received all the needed encouragement and help from the book. Within a short time, the poems got longer and better--more substantive, more perceptive. I suspect that the most important aspect of the book is getting the child over the fear of writing. It helps them feel comfortable about expressing themselves.
 Not what I expected October 11, 2008
This book is in the format of a chapter book. I was expecting something with a few more written poems as examples. It does give different ways to begin writing poems though.

Pizza, Pigs, and Poetry: How to Write a Poem
This new Prelutsky book is absolutely fabulous! Every year I engage my middle school students in creating an extensive "Poetry Package" as one of their major projects for the year, so this book has been a GREAT resource! THANK YOU, Jack Prelutsky! THANK YOU, Amazon.com!
