April is National Poetry Month, a month-long celebration of poetry throughout the United States! This event was founded by the Academy of American Poets in 1996 in order to wide the attention of individuals and the media to poetry: the art of it, our poetic heritage, poetry books, living poets, and more. <\/p>\n

I thought it would be fun to list some poetry books that you might check out of the library or purchase to read with your kids during this month. I haven\u2019t read all of the ones I am linking below, but I thought I would gather a list to get us started:<\/p>\n

1. \u201cClassic Poetry: An Illustrated Collection\u201d– https:\/\/about.pricegrabber.com\/search_getprod.php\/isbn=9781564028907\/search=1564028909\/st=query<\/a><\/p>\n

2. \u201cA Child\u2019s Calendar\u201d (poetry about seasons)– https:\/\/about.pricegrabber.com\/search_getprod.php\/isbn=9780823414451\/search=9780823414451\/st=query<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Twentieth Century Children\u2019s Poetry Treasury (we have and love this one!) https:\/\/about.pricegrabber.com\/search_getprod.php\/isbn=9780679893141\/search=9780679893141\/st=query<\/a><\/p>\n

4. \u201cThe Random House Book of Poetry for Children\u201d (we\u2019ve checked this out before; it\u2019s good)– https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Random-House-Book-Poetry-Children\/dp\/0394850106<\/a><\/p>\n

This link has several that look great: https:\/\/poetrybooksforchildren.com\/<\/a>   I also love the \u201cBible Time Nursery Rhyme\u201d and \u201cChristian Mother Goose\u201d (see our reviews for more about these). <\/p>\n
