Age Appropriateness:
- This poetry book is definitely best for K-2nd grade. The lessons / stories are simple and easy for those ages to understand.
Summary:
- Bob’s Bicycle Helmet was the poem I focused on in the book. It was a really cute book about being safe and wearing a helmet because they protect people. I really liked the personification of the helmet explaining what it helps Bob stay safe from. I think a lot of times kids are told by adults all the rules they have to follow and never why they need to follow them. This is a funny way for students to hear why helmets are important and also learn about personification.
Review:
- It’s a great book for a simple introduction to poetry for young students, and also a great book for more unique literary devices for older students. I think a fun assignment to do with the Bob’s Bicycle Helmet poem would be to write dialogue. This would be for older students, but it’s a great way to see personification and apply it themself!

Sweatshirts, and sweaters and hand-me down clothes all find a voice in this book of poems. How fun!
