Here’s the
next installment in my series of science poetry tied to science-themed
picture books. My graduate student, Tamara Hammer (in my "Poetry for
Children" class) selected the focus on “insects and invertebrates” from
the series of professional resource books, "Picture Perfect Science
Lessons" by Karen Ansberry and Emily Morgan (and published by the
National Science Teachers Association). Here are her three infographics
centered around insects
and invertebrates. The
focus picture book trio is:
- The Perfect Pet by Margie Palatini
- Bugs Are Insects by Anne Rockwell
- Ant! Ant! Ant! by April Pulley Sayre
The poem
that works perfectly with this book pair is “Dragonfly Lights” by Jane Yolen from her book, Bug Off: Creepy, Crawly, Poems. Below is a graphic featuring all these books, followed by
the featured poem and Take 5 activities to accompany the poem
along with a "bonus" poem, “Pollination” by Margarita Engle from The Poetry of Science. Enjoy!
