The Everything Book by Denise Fleming


The Everything Book is just that, a book of EVERYTHING. It has colors, counting, shapes, letters, rhymes, ect. This book is filled with fun poems and fun rhymes.

Kids will fall in love with this book. The poems are fun and easy to learn. They all have some educational value to them and could easily be used in a lesson. The letters, numbers, and shapes could also be used. With poems including five little chickens, traffic lights, choo choo, two little black birds, and tippy toes, kids will for sure find one that they love. All of these rhythmic poems can be used to help fluency. The pictures in the book are fun and engaging. This book can be used during a lesson on beginners poetry. The poems could also be used as songs. You can create a melody for them poems and have the students sing a long.

This book is great for Kindergartners and first graders. It is a book with many things that students can use to help them learn. When using it with second graders, they really enjoyed the many different kinds of poems and learning tools that are easy for kids to follow and read. I would include this book in my classroom library because it is a fun, educational book that kids will enjoy.
