Poetry Week by Week: A "Foxy" Concrete Poem

Concrete Poetry Week continues with a guest post by my daughter, Julia Gomez. When I told her that I needed (well...wanted) a guest poet to share a concrete poem on my blog for this week, she enthusiastically volunteered for the challenge. She didn't have a concrete poem on hand to share, so she wrote one especially for this event! I had no idea what she would write, but I was not surprised at all when she revealed this little Fox. Well, done, Julia. I could not be more delighted in your little poem. Isn't it darling? If this doesn't inspire you to try your own concrete poem, I'm not sure what will! If you would like to share this poem, please link to this page rather than saving the image. Please do not print this poem without permission from the author. You can contact her through her blog . About the poet: Julia is a college student majoring in disorganization and procrastination. While singing is her primary occupation, Julia also likes to writ

13 Picture Books that Include Recipes - A Read, Discuss, Do! Book List

Picture books that include recipes are one of my favorite things. Not only are they fun to read together, but they have great Read, Discuss, Do! activities built right in.

Bear and Chicken by Jannie Ho is a darling friendship story about a chicken who is concerned that the bear who rescued him from the cold is planning to make him into soup! Try the soup recipe for yourself. No chicken needed! Whopper Cake by Karma Wilson, illustrated by Will Hillenbrand is a fun rhyming romp that will have everyone hungry for cake, which you can make by following

9 Picture Books about Tree Houses

Who doesn't love tree houses? As a kid, I always dreamed about having a tree house. As an adult, I still dream about having a tree house! But since I can't have a tree house of my own right now, I read and write about them instead. Everyone knows about THE MAGIC TREE HOUSE series of chapter books. But what about picture books? In my search for picture books about tree houses, I couldn't find many. But I did manage to find these nine stories, which just might inspire dreams of life up in the trees! 1. THE TREE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT by Bonnie Verburg The tree house in this book is beyond impressive. Just a glance at the illustrations by Mark Teague would have anyone searching for the perfect tree house tree! 2. THE BERENSTAIN BEARS' HOME SWEET TREE by Stan and Jan Berenstain This book captured my attention and my imagination as a child. I loved the idea of living in a tree, and I pored over the pages, imagining myself living in the cozy rooms of the bears&
