[Gabriel Haney]

I love poetry books I think they are the best one there is so come and read poem books.

This is not my favorite book of poetry. However, with the topic of all the poems being food, it makes for a funny and engaging read for young children. The illustrations are kept at a minimum. Adoff uses the poem’s shape or pattern to emphasise meaning in several of the poems.

"Getting the Sweet". I enjoyed discovering a neat analogy from this poem.

Poem: Dinner Tonight

I liked this poem because I could relate to it. It showed how dinner was just a journey to get to desert.
