"Behind the Hidden Door" by Darren Sardelli from CLARA'S BOOK

Here's one more fun poem from Clara's Kooky Compendium of Thimblethoughts and Wonderfuzz-- out now. This poem is "Behind the Hidden Door" by Darren Sardelli and it's full of strong imagery and has a great surprise ending. 
Here's a silly video I created for sharing the poem. Enjoy! 


And here is the page from the book featuring the poem, plus the fun Thimblethought, Wonderfuzz, and skill connection for this poem.

If you're interested in getting your own copy of Clara's Book, it's on Amazon and (at a discount) from QEP Books here. We're so excited that it's a "Hot off the Press" book at the Children's Book Council.

Now head on over to Radio, Rhythm, and Rhyme where Matt Forrest Esenwine is hosting our Poetry Friday gathering here. See you there!
