She set out to write a poem for each child, sharing her love of poetry with them, and made an anthology of the poems for Valentine’s Day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis original collection reflects the children’s joys and sorrows, worries and fears, moods and sense of humor. Some poems address common themes such as having a hard day at school, feeling shy or being a newcomer, while others explore subjects of fascination — bats, spiders, skeletons, octopuses, polka dots, racing cars and birthday parties. Evident throughout the book is a love of words and language and the idea that there are all kinds of poems and that they are for everyone — to read or write.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCindy Derby’s dreamy watercolor illustrations gently complement each poem.

We see them breaking out of their eggshells, then learning to swim, find food and avoid predators such as snapping turtles and big bass fish. After they learn to fly, they migrate to the ocean. And when their striking black-and-white feathers finally emerge, they fly inland, each to find a new lake territory and mate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccompanying Susan Vande Griek’s poetic text are Karen Reczuch’s gorgeous illustrations, which show the loons as they grow from tiny downy chicks to majestic adult birds. An afterword provides more information on loons, including their amazing diving ability, the meanings of their calls, and the environmental threats that they face. Also illustrated are five different types of loons and other animals that can be found in their lake habitat. The illustrations were researched in the Ornithology Collections at the Royal Ontario Museum, and Ron Ridout of Bird Studies Canada consulted on the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Text Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eillustrations\u003cbr\u003eauthor’s note\u003cbr\u003efurther reading\u003cbr\u003elabels\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.5\u003cbr\u003eExplain major differences between books that tell stories and books that give information, drawing on a wide reading of a range of text types.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.5\u003cbr\u003eDescribe the overall structure of a story, including describing how the beginning introduces the story and the ending concludes the action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.7\u003cbr\u003eAnalyze how visual and multimedia elements contribute to the meaning, tone, or beauty of a text (e.g., graphic novel, multimedia presentation of fiction, folktale, myth, poem).\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-03-22T16:10:01-04:00","created_at":"2022-03-22T11:25:53-04:00","vendor":"Groundwood Books Ltd","type":"","tags":["age range 4 -
