Reviews
"""Should be in every grade 2-6 classroom."" Jennie Rosenblum, editor & book reviewer . ""Petrie & Hoxworth have created something really special - and needed. The fact that it's so fun and straightforward makes it a blessing for teachers to use in the classroom or home school environment, but also a perfect summer activity for kids to do on their own. It's the poetry class kids wish they had!"" Jennifer Ziegler, children's author . ""So conversational - so inviting - that you can't resist leaping in with your own brave, imaginative, curious ideas and observations! This workbook (playbook) makes the craft of poetry fun and accessible for young and budding poets - and pet lovers of all ages!"" Liz Garton Scanlon, children's author & poet . ""We just did Pet Poems Plus lesson one - HUGE SUCCESS. Thank you. It was such a joy to do during a really busy crazy season in our school."" Elementary school librarian, Coppell, TX"
