Review: Rainbows, Head Lice, And Pea Green Tile: Poems In The Voice Of A Classroom Teacher is a unique and memorable book of engaging, sometimes humorous, sometimes soulful poems on the subject of classroom teaching. Warmly illustrated in black and white with the charcoal-style sketches of artist Kim Doner, Rainbows, Head Lice, And Pea Green Tile is an excellent, heartfelt, highly recommended read for poetry lovers of all ages, but is most especially recommended for anyone who has ever taught a class of children! Hope For The Future: Her homework is neat./Her projects are on time./When I send her with the lunch count/She returns on time./And during silent reading,/When I sit her next to terrible Tyrone,/She nods her understanding and never complains.//My wonderful little Megan--/Dependable, upright, and true./If I wanted to clone a few more like her,/What would I have to do?
