A Foot in the Mouth: Poems to Speak, Sing and Shout.
by Paul B. Janeczko
This collection compiled by Paul Janeczko consists of poems broken into ten chapters for sharing. All aspects of poetry for reading aloud and in groups is covered. There are tongue twisters, bilingual poems, poems for one, two and three voices and more. This is fun stuff and a must have for a classroom shelf. Poetry like Edward Lear’s “Owl and the Pussy-Cat”, Walt Whitman’s “I Hear America Singing” and William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth, Act IV, Scene 1” are all included bringing new life to these wonderful works. Inside I found a concrete poem by one of my favorites poets.

This

Bounce

And

Like a
