Poetry for younger readers can take on many forms. Here it’s also a seek-and-find!

IT’S BUSY DOWN IN THE WOODS TODAY is a wonderful and cozy collection of poems for young readers that takes place in a world that feels a lot like Richard Scarry. Here the world is the forest and it is full of friendly creatures that kiddos will recognize from page to page in this series. In fact, there are so many friendly faces in these detailed illustrations that there is also a list on each spread of items to seek-and-find. You can read the interview with the author and see excerpts of the poems here.

And if you’re looking for more poetry fun this month, be sure to check out the Kidlitosphere Event Roundup!  Thank you for stopping by!
