This book is amazing! It took me a few pages to catch on, but I wonder how many words Raczka worked with and rejected. What remains is very clever, and would provide an interesting challenge to students. I don't know if I would describe the results as exactly poetry, but poetry has no boundaries anyway.

Anagram poetry, kind of weird but I also see how it works so easily since you are using a long word to create shorter ones.

Good idea, but also proof that some ideas should really just stay as ideas, especially when you need a second page for every poem to bluntly spell out how it should be read.

So clever. My 10-year old keeps rereading these poems made entirely from the letters in the one-word title of each poem. In her own words: "I love this book mom! How did he DO that?!?"

This book offers one-word poetry, creating poems using the letters of one word.
