Pizza, Pigs and Poetry How To Write a Poem

Pizza, Pigs and Poetery How To Write a Poem by Jack Prelutsky, is a poetry book that is good for 7 to 10 year olds. I really found the poems in this book to be extremely funny, silly, and enjoyable to read. I think that this book would make kids more interested in poetry and appreciate poetry more. Included in this book also is how the author got ideas for his poems, and tips on how to start writing your own if interested. With this type of poetry book, a kid can really have fun writing poetry by taking a real life experience and then elaborating or embellishing the details entirely or partly. Before each poem a background is given on how ideas were gathered to write the poem. To me this added a lot to the poetry book. If you want a laugh, are into poetry, and like sillyness then I strongly recommend this poetry book.
