Welcome to The Magical World of Poetry - a joyful, family-friendly poetry collection and writing guide created to help young readers fall in love with poems and feel confident creating their own.
The Magical World of Poetry is a joyful, kid-friendly poetry collection and "how-to" guide designed to help children read, understand, and write poems with confidence. Inside you'll find 70+ poems across kid-loved themes like animals, sports, food, weather, holidays, and fantasy, paired with charming illustrations created by young artists.
But this is more than a poetry book, it's a poetry workshop in disguise. Young readers learn engaging poetry forms, including acrostic, cinquain, concrete (shape) poetry, free verse, haiku, and rhyme, plus a helpful glossary of poetic devices like alliteration, simile, metaphor, imagery, onomatopoeia, and personification.
This uplifting poetry book encourages creativity, vocabulary development, fluency, and confidence, while keeping content clean, age-appropriate, and encouraging. If you are looking for poetry for kids, a poetry writing workbook feel, or a classroom-friendly book that helps students read poems and write poems with joy, this collection is a wonderful fit.
Perfect for:
- Ages 8-12 (and up), independent reading, class poetry collection, homeschool educators, and family read-alouds of ALL AGES!
- Classrooms, homeschooling, poetry units, writing centers, and library programs will love this quirky poetry collection
- Kids who love Shel Silverstein-style fun, plus kids who need a gentle, guided entry into writing poetry
Open the book. Try a poem. Then write your own magic.
