Spring for PoetryTagTime


With the arrival of April, spring and poetry are in the air.  An exciting way to celebrate both is with the very first electronic-only poetry anthology, PoetryTagTime.  In this delightful offering for kids of all ages, 30 poets create new poems in a "tag-you're it" fashion.

Jack Prelutsky, Nikki Grimes, Lee Bennett Hopkins, Douglas Florian, Helen Frost, Jane Yolen, X.J. Kennedy, Paul B. Janeczko, and a host of others share a poem as well as the inspiration from the previous poet that sparked the idea.

The idea for the anthology is the creative work of Dr. Sylvia Vardell and Janet Wong, and poetry lovers will want to explore both their sites for fabulous poetry resources.  PoetryTagTime is available on Amazon or bn.com for only .99, and the format looks great on both my iPhone and iPad.

Spring for PoetryTagTime and share a poem and a special moment with your favorite kiddo today.
