I loved all of these poetry books. They are all great poetry collections and great for kids to read. I especially enjoyed Love That Dog. It made me laugh and it made me sad all at the same time. I think this book would be great to introduce poetry. Brown Angels was very good also. The portraits were great in this book and they told a story along with the poems. The connection between all of these books is that Love That Dog referenced both All The Small Poems and Brown Angels in the text. I really liked that Love that Dog was written in a little boy’s point of view.  Children could read this book and relate to Jack and it might help them think of things to write about. I related to Jack because I have a hard time thinking of things to write about but if I am given ideas or examples, it is alot easier for me.  All the poetry books flowed very nicely and I will probably use them in my future classroom.
