This vibrant collection of twenty-one poems celebrates the joys (snack time!) and pitfalls (2 + 2 = 23?) of childhood. Brod Bagert’s often silly, always winsome poems cover everything from the seasons and the stars to finger paint and kids who quack. With humor and warmth, Shout! shows us there’s fun in work and play, poetry in everything, and a million different uses for ketchup. Kids are sure to shout for a reread.

Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2—Brisk, snappy rhymes, many revolving around the school year, are full of the kind of silly humor that primary graders enjoy. Action-packed cartoon-style acrylic and pastel illustrations are rich in detail and brimming with good cheer. Short, simple rhyming phrases and lots of repetition make this a suitable choice for newly independent readers. While not as original or as inviting to share aloud as Lee Bennett Hopkins's Questions (HarperCollins, 1994; o.p.) or Faye Robinson's A Frog Inside My Hat: A First Book of Poems (Troll, 2003), the high-energy selections and lively drawings might find a place in large collections.—Sally R.

From Booklist
"Clap your hands! / Stomp your feet! / Feel the rhythm! / Feel the beat!" The sounds of words, their beat, and the movement they inspire make the fun in this picture book, which will have preschoolers counting, jumping, and shouting out the words of the energetic poems. Every acrylic-and-pastel picture shows a cheerful, colorful uproar, whether the setting is a library ("Books are good! Books are great! / I want books! I WILL NOT WAIT") or an animal-filled classroom that "sounds / just like a zoo. / WATCH OUT FOR THAT KANGAROO." The picture of a little boy watching the sky in "Little Dipper" is tender and quiet after all the exuberant slapstick. Listeners will eagerly join in the fun as they recognize the joy in a book that shows their world. Hazel Rochman

5.0 out of 5 stars
These are rollicking, zany poems,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shout!: Little Poems that Roar (Hardcover)
Brod Bagert's SHOUT! LITTLE POEMS THAT ROAR tells of little poems which say a lot, from a noisy classroom zoo account to a vivid description of play time. These are rollicking, zany poems illustrated by Sashiko Yoshikawa and filled with action and adventure, going far beyond the usual sedate poem to fill kids with excitement about the possibilities of poetry and relating poems to familiar kid topics.

Great Poetry!,
By Julie (Northern IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shout!: Little Poems that Roar (Hardcover)
The poems and illustrations in this book are wonderful. You can't go wrong with this selection. My 4 1/2 year old son's personal favorite is titled " The Spice of Life", which is an ode to ketchup. :-) Enjoy!
