I love tea and this book is just too cute and cozy! The illustrations are so pretty and the poems are so sweet and I appreciated the tea tips as well!

A poem book for young learning to read students. This book reminded me of when I was little and would have tea parties at my grandmas house! If you have never had a tea party or are planning to have one, these poems bring a sense of expertise and excitement for the party. These poems are also great examples to use when teaching about poems and rhyming in the classroom. My favorite poem is about tea and what is favorited around the world, sold on the street or in the market. "My favorite place in all the world for tea is home with you" (Spinelli, 1999)
