Button Up! is a picture book filled with short poems told from the perspective of the clothes in our closets. With creative and funny poems told from the perspective of undies, hats, shoes, jammies, swim suits, and other various articles of clothing. These poems are unique and fun for kids to read who are learning about poetry.
When writing poetry, children usually get stuck on what to write about. This book had poems that are all about an article of clothing. Children can read this book and get ideas for things to write about. They can write about a favorite thing of theirs. I really enjoyed the poems in this book. I think they had a creative idea and clever rhyming. I can see a book like this being used in my classroom for students who are struggling with ideas.
A great book for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders. Reading some of these poems out loud to the class can stir up ideas for writing of their own. The students can also draw pictures of their own based on the poems they hear. I wish I had a book like this when I was in grade school because poetry was so hard for me. When reading a few poems I could already think of a few ideas of what I could write about for my own poem. I think kids will find the poems funny and will want to write ones of their own.
