I really enjoyed reading these poems- I think they are an accessible way for kids to grasp concepts that pertain to other creatures and happenings in this world that are outside our human experience. I, of course, enjoyed the poems about turtles and snakes the most.
After being presented to a class, I definitely believe that these poems can be extended into a lesson. Students could brainstorm questions about the world or certain species, research their topic, then write a short poem about it in a style similar to those in this compillation. Great way to integrate science and language arts.
