I m a fan of Brian P Cleary and this is another winner.After a brief description of how to write haiku and lantern poems, Cleary provides oddles of examples using kid friendly topics and eye catching illustrations These types of poems are simple enough for even the most reluctant writers And if my boys don t pick up a pencil and start writing after reading Yummy , I ll eat my dry erase marker I do so love a book that inspires creative writing.
This book is comprised of poems and also of Haiku format poems, they are all about random things But specifically, the book teaches how to write these poems to young readers The book is funny and insightful, in terms of how the poems can be written about anything as long as the rules of them are followed.The media of the book is colored pencil and importantly it appears to be very cleanly used to draw the art in all the pages The art is sharply drawn which gives a feeling of care to the materi [...]
It might do the job of showing reluctant kids that poetry doesn t have to be intimidating If you call this poetry They re actually pretty random sentences, shaped liked Haiku and Lantern poems No resonance, no metaphor, no heart, no puns or satire or much of anything, really Some rare bits of good sound like rhythm and alliteration but not enough.The thing is, there are so very many better poems and anthologies available for kids Why bother with this

Poems 4 starsIllustrations 4 starsPicture book of children s poetry Half of the book is devoted to haiku and the other half of the book focuses on lantern poems Many of the haiku are actually senryu, a haiku like form that is not mentioned in the book The lantern poems are especially lovely Each of the two sections is introduced with a page explaining the poetic form Includes a table of contents and suggestions for further reading Good for use in a classroom poetry unit or a children s writing w [...]
I liked how there were two different types of poetry in this book Most of the poems are silly and make no sense, but it is a good intro book for kids 2nd grade and younger The illustrations also perfectly represent what is exactly going on in the poem.
A good starter book of poetry for kids K to 2.This book has an easy going note The poems are short, simple, and the scenes are ultimately familiar for the little ones.
Interesting images, bright, relatable, different use of presenting information, interesting to read, evokes creativity and imagination.
If it Rains Pancakes by Brian P Cleary illustrated by Andy Rowland is a book filled with individual haiku poems for children Due to the fact that there are over 20 different poems within this book, it is difficult to come up with one specific summary There poems about nature, food, seasons and animals yet no two poems are identical Each haiku would be interesting for young children as they talk about relatable and sometimes silly topics The illustrations throughout this book are very bright and [...]

Lots of fun and silly haiku and lantern poems for kids to grasp the concept of these very precise forms of poetry.
Kid Size One of the great appeals of Haiku, for me, is that the form can be turned to so many purposes It reminds me of the old ad campaign Everyone Looks Good in a Tuxedo Everyone can try to create a Haiku poem, and any topic is fair game One of my favorite books is Haiku Tech, which consists of a hundred Haiku poems devoted to information technology and software development Example virtual disk drive storage space made of shadows you re not really there Anyway, it s one thing to explain what H [...]
