The Dog Ate My Homework: Poems

Summary: The Awesome Sara Holbrook!
Review: 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!

Summary: A great book for any student
Review: 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.
