Author #139: McNamara and Karas playfully put poems in perspective


In A Poem in Your Pocket  by Margaret McNamara and illustrated by G. Brian Karas we learn about some different kinds of poems including acrostic and concrete. Elinor is excited about a famous poet coming to her school and sharing poems but then she can't write a poem to her liking and doesn't have one when the poet comes.  What will Elinor do?
