Story Time Idea: A KICK IN THE HEAD

National Poetry Month is the perfect time to explore different forms of poetry, and A Kick in the Head: An Everyday Guide to Poetic Forms by Paul B. Jeneczko, illustrated by Chris Raschka, is the perfect book to help you do that with your young budding poets. Read the book and talk about new and/or favorite poetic forms. Then write your own! 

Be sure to follow along with our National Poetry Month posts published every Friday in April for more ideas on how to celebrate poetry together.
