5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for any student, January 21, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Dog Ate My Homework (Paperback)
Sara Holbrook, who is one of my favorite poets, presents a book full of school-related poems, many of them very humorous. I seriously reccomend this and other of Sara Holbrook's works for teachers, or students age 10-15.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Awesome Sara Holbrook!, December 15, 2004
This review is from: The Dog Ate My Homework (Paperback)
I am an eighth grade English teacher, and I've worked in both Florida and Massachusetts. In both places, and in other places where I have had the fortune to work with children, Sara's poetry has captured their attention and wowed them with her understanding of their age. Her "silly rhymes" make them giggle and her "I am a teenager and my life is like this" poems make them jump for joy that someone knows what it is like to be in middle school (or elementary school, or high school). I have all of her books in my classroom, and have to replace them often because they are stolen: the highest compliment a student can make to a poet. I love Sara!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's just fun, December 29, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Dog Ate My Homework (Paperback)
I use this book to teach idea and rhythm in poetry to middle schoolers. They enjoy reading the poems in this book and often select one of these poems for memorization. I like to have students add a stanza or two to one poem they select from this book. All of the poems relate back to the children,are easy to read, and the students can see themselves or someone they know in the poems. The book is just fun to read and work.
