[close] This was a fun read. Concrete poetry puts the words into the shapes of what it is talking about, and the illustrations here were also very brightly colored and fun. Besides all being concrete, many other forms of poetry were highlighted, such as haiku, limericks, acrostic, etc. I also liked the added resources the author added at the end - appropriately aged books and websites for further information. I think this would be a perfect book in an elementary classroom on poetry as it showcases many forms, and children could have a lot of fun created their own concrete poems, learning more about the fish, and more.
