"Five engaging segments that star an overalls-wearing piglet provide the framework for approachable poetry-writing lessons in this joyfully creative work." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
In five warm and cozy tales, children can delight in the world of Piglet, his family, and his friends—while learning five fun and easy ways to write a poem.
When Piglet picks up a stone and drops it into a puddle, words seem to splash out: wet, fresh, earthy, sploshing, sunshiny, puddle. Is Piglet a poet? Each of five charming stories captures a warm snapshot into some happy moment in childhood while demonstrating how to create a different kind of poem: a puddle poem, a comparing poem, a making-a-person-out-of-something poem, an if-I-was poem, and an I-would-give-you poem. With plenty of tips and tricks after each story and fresh illustrations by Sam Usher, author Sean Taylor makes poetry writing accessible, inspiring even the youngest of children to find their voice and call themselves poets.
