Description de l’éditeur
This entertaining and quirky collection of school poems covers everything from a "slam-dancing ride" on the big yellow bus to the teacher who picks up signals with "antennae in her hair" to a full-on zombie invasion. Sidebars introduce readers to many elements of poetry and invite kids to write poems of their own.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Despite its title, this collection of school poems is not filled with supernatural horrors. The vast majority of Holbrook's verses cover the experiences of the average student, from summer's end ("Days, no longer long,/ whisper, Time to move along") to tests ("Frantic/ panic,/ sinking/ sorrow./ The science test/ is not tomorrow") and even daydreams ("Time to pack myself/ in a hands-folded smile,/ and dream/ my way outta here"). Plentiful cartoon illustrations and tips on writing poetry crowd the pages and distract somewhat from the poems themselves, but should provide some motivation and inspiration for aspiring writers. Ages 9 11.
