A Poke in the I

A parent might reach for this book when their child thinks poetry is boring or finds traditional reading a struggle. This collection is a perfect antidote, especially for visual learners and creative thinkers. It's not a story but an anthology of 30 'concrete poems', where the words themselves form a picture of the topic, like a poem about a yo-yo that travels up and down the page. The book celebrates curiosity, imagination, and finding joy in looking at the world differently. For ages 7 to 12, it's a wonderfully accessible and fun introduction to poetry that feels more like a game than an assignment, showing kids that words can be playful and powerful.
