Lily needed a poetry book. Finding a decent collection of poetry for a kindergarteners that isn’t really long is not easy.
My first choice was Shel Silverstein, but the length of the book would have been difficult to get through. We read one for her first bingo sheet. Rough.
The book was fun, but the arrangement of the text makes it a frustrating read. Some of the text is sideways, other times upside down.
Lily’s Book Report
I liked the book.
What did you like about the poems?
I liked the funny ones.
Which one was your favorite?
My favorite poem was the one with the mixy dogs.
What was your favorite dog?
My favorite dog is the one that slipped out of a gate and ate food it wasn’t supposed to. I don’t like that in real life, I bet. That should just happen in books.

Lily studied the lifecycle of a Monarch butterfly in preschool last year. Ever since, she has been fascinated by caterpillars and butterflies.
Monarch Caterpillar- August 16, 2012
Lily’s Book Report
I liked the book.
What are the four stages of butterfly metamorphosis?
They lay an egg.
A caterpillar sheds its skin.
The caterpillar becomes a chrysalis.
After the chrysalis, they break through, they’re a butterfly.
What are some defenses butterflies use?
Some things on their wings.
The Monarchs are poisonous to defend themselves.
What is your favorite butterfly?
My favorite butterfly is all of them. My very favorite butterfly is the Monarch.
