Picture Poetry on Parade!

More than fifty poems are marching your way about kids that are in charge of the school; a father that grows money; a coupon-cutting mom; a long-lasting Teddy Bear; a greedy boy; an out of control pencil sharpener; a lunchroom where anything can happen, and numbers that don't add up. There are kings without castles; kids that act like lawyers; bugs that can talk; homework that isn't done; wishes that might come true, and more. An author who knows the inside of a school well wrote these poems. He taught kids for thirty-three years in grades 2-6. He was inspired by his students and family life to write these poems for you.

Mrs. DeLeonardis-Amans is an artist and teacher. She is very thankful to her students for their inspiration in creating these pictures and teaching her to see the world through their magical eyes. Her present students picked Picture Poetry on Parade! as the best title for these lively poems. And where are these poems and pictures parading? They might be marching right into your school, home, and perhaps your heart.
