Product Description
When Jack Prelutksy posted the first couplet of a funny poem on a Web site and invited children to finish it, he expected about 100 responses. He got thousands. Now he has come up with an anthology of poems on 10 popular subjects by well-known poets and combined it with his own “poemstarts.” Included with each poemstart are suggestions for various ways the reader might continue the poem. With large type and a big red stop sign, it is made abundantly clear that the reader get a pencil and paper to complete the poem. Jack Prelutsky has been credited with making poetry fun for children to read. Now he is making poetry fun for children to write!

 Poemstarts October 7, 2006
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
How do you encourage young poets to get started? One way is through the method advocated in Read a Rhyme, Write a Rhyme: by creating a 'poemstart' which offers a beginning structure and tells the young poet to follow along. The purpose is to provide enough encouragement and direction to allow kids to continue the effort: pictures by Meilo So add excitement and energy to the beginner's 'poemstarts' featured here.
 Great for Reluctant Poets July 30, 2006

As a teacher for third and fourth grade students, it is sometimes difficult to convince them that they can be master poets. This innovative book by Prelutsky helps them to rise to the challenge. By getting to read an amusing poem first,then guided through writing a creative one for themselves, Jack Prelutsky has allowed kids to tinker with the idea of poetry without having to follow a certain set of rules. The kids love his work, and his ideas and poem starters set them off on the "write" track. It has become one of the most borrowed books from my personal library.
