A Read Aloud Dream: The Dragons Are Singing Tonight

I will always extend our storytime by one book, if this is it. These seventeen poems are a read aloud dream. They feel great in the mouth, evoke a good range of moods and emotion and end with a rousing glint of intrigue that brings the reading to a perfect close.

Hi Andrea and Mark…Prelutsky has been a long-time favourite of mine also. I remember my students loving Mississauga Rattlesnake and The New Kid on the Block. He makes poetry fun fun fun.
