Some of my favorite poems in here are the ones for multiple voices.

Listen to the sun brag about being the closest star, then go to a moon buffet in this amusing book of poems that “take you into space and back again.” Learn the difference between a solar and lunar eclipse as you read a poem for two voices as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Or rap with a friend as you learn about energy, and Astronomical Units (AU for short). Poems are written in a variety of styles from concrete to sonnet as the reader floats away on this informative delightful journey through our galaxy. Notes about each poem, including the facts that inspired them are included in the back pages of the book.

The poems weren't necessarily my favorite, but I could see it being really good in classroom use, especially for including fun forms.
