What were all those fairy-tale characters thinking? Jane Yolen and
Rebecca Kai Dotlich answer this question in paired poems, with
sometimes startling results. The Princess claims all those
mattresses kept her awake, not a silly pea, while the poor pea
complains that the princess snores. One Snow White begs the witch
to settle by the bay and throw that mirror away. Another boldly
tells the mirror she "won't be guided by a glass that's so
one-sided." Grumbles from the Forest is a bewitching brew of
voices, grumbling, pleading, bragging, reminiscing, confiding, that
bubbles with magic and wonder. The spectacular paintings that tie
the poems together are full of surprise and intrigue. This stunning
collection includes end notes that briefly describe the tales and
their history and an introduction that invites readers to imagine
their own poems from unusual perspectives.
Landscapes of poems is a reader-friendly anthology designed for
Grade 12 learners doing English as a Second Additional Language,
and is based on the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement. It
provides learners and teachers with insight into our own
metaphorical landscape as well as a better understanding of others.
Poems are presented in two sections: Poems from the canon of
English poetry, which includes tools to interpret different poetry
genres, e.g. ballad, epic, dramatic monologue, lyric, sonnet, ode,
elegy and others; Poems from Southern Africa, arranged according to
theme.
This 'Silly' themed anthology of poems is written by various
authors. The anthologies in this series are updated and revised
versions of previously published titles, each with several brand
new poems in them. There's an anthology for every place and topic.
Make sure you've always got a verse rehearsed! Roaring dinosaur
rhymes, silly school rhymes: even some revolting rhymes to get you
groaning. You can rap or rhyme them, mime them out or tackle
fiendish tongue-twisters. Heaps of rib-tickling rhymes to send you
poetry potty, and it all supports the school curriculum. A matching
Teacher Resource Book, written by Paul Cookson, features
workshop-style lessons based on different poetry types/genres. Each
lesson focuses on a specific poem from one of the anthologies.

as never before and shares the events of the momentous day in 1960

a six year old little girl -- a personal and intimate look through
a child's lens at a landmark moment in our Civil Rights history. My
work will be precious, I will be a bridge between people. I will

own point of view for the first time, in a poetic reflection on her
experience that changed the face of history and the trajectory of
the Civil Rights movement. I Am Ruby Bridges offers hope and
confidence to all children and is a perfect learning tool for
schools and libraries to teach the story of Ruby Bridges as never
before and introducing this landmark story to young readers in a
powerful new way. This story of innocence and courage is brought to
life by NAACP-nominated artist, Nikkolas Smith through stunning and
beautiful illustrations.Embracing the meaning of her name, Bridges
reflects with poignancy and heart on the way one brave little girl
stood proud and tall to help build a bridge between all people and
pave the path for future generations.

Sometimes our feelings are so big, our dreams and our worries so
wide, that we can't find the words to express them. How MUCH love
we feel; what a new sibling will bring; exactly what it's like to
take a hard tumble, or to want the sun to shine on a rainy day.
These thoughts and questions are explored by Hans and Monique Hagen
in poems pitched perfectly to the children who wonder. Marit
Toernqvist is their brilliant partner, spreading gorgeous color and
heartfelt imagery across these pages. If you want a sneak peek at
what we mean, turn to the sunflower spread on page thirty, and
feel...yourself smile.
Clever Federico outsmarts el lobo in this fresh and funny
Mexican-American take on Little Red Riding Hood. With his red

visit Abuelo. But on the way, he meets a hungry wolf. And now his
grandfather bears a striking resemblance to el lobo... Fortunately,
Federico is quick and clever--and just happens to be carrying a
spicy surprise! Federico drives the wolf away, and he and Abuelo
celebrate with a special salsa. Recipe included.
