What is PoetryTagTime?

 

PoetryTagTime is the first electronic-only poetry anthology for kids! With 30 new poems by 30 well-known contemporary poets writing for children today, here is a poem-a-day for a month of poetry reading, sharing, and exploring.


Jack Prelutsky starts us off with a down-to-earth poem about the moon. Neither balloon nor cheese nor sun, it is... just the moon. Then: Tag--You’re IT! It’s Joyce Sidman’s turn.


Jack’s poem makes Joyce think of the sun as an egg yolk and she shares a shape poem, “Maybe.” Joyce then chooses Nikki Grimes: Tag--You’re IT!


Nikki connects to Joyce’s poem with a dancing prairie sunflower... and so on. A month of poems later, Janet Wong brings us back where Jack began: with the moon...sort of. Read the book and find out!


Thirty of the world’s best children’s poets play Poetry Tag in this eBook anthology designed for READ-ALOUD FUN, connecting subjects ranging from snow to dogs to smelly hotels to YouTube to turtles and toenails.


This eBook project was compiled and edited by Sylvia Vardell and Janet Wong.


Reading a poem aloud each day--or each night--

will take less than a minute!
