168 Words1 Pages
Science Verse is a book of, you guessed it, science poetry. What makes this book fun is a lot of the poems are set to well known nursery rhymes such as Mary Had a... (Little Parasite) instead of Mary Had a Little Lamb, poems such as 'Twas the night (before anything) which is set to the same meter as "Twas the Night Before Christmas, and stories such as The Senseless Lab of Professor Revere which is a take on the Ride of Paul Revere. The end of the book even features an Observations and Conclusions page which tells the reader with what other poem the poem in the book may be similar to. The illustrations are fantastically whimsical and what you come to expect from Lane Smith. This would be a fun book when talking about poetry with your students
