Red Sings from Treetops: a year in colors by Joyce Sidman
Summary: This book of poems goes through each of the four seasons and describes them using colors. Each poem using a different color from red to yellow to white and the rest. Each color convey a different characteristic of the four seasons. The illustrations, done by Pamela Zagarenski, focuses around each color and uses them in scenes depicting different activities that are typically done during the specific season.
Review: These poems are great fro children in kindergarten and second grade as they learn about the different seasons and also as they are being introduced to poetry. I would love to have this book in my classroom for kids to read as a beginner poetry book.
A blog by a college student, a future educator, and an eager learner who is here to expand her knowledge and imagination through children's literature. Books go further than one's imagination, they come to life in the way we look at and live in the world.
