Never take a pig to lunch Book

This is a really cute book of poems that I would say is appropriate for third graders. The poems focus on the different feelings you can get from eating various foods, told from a silly perspective! One way that I could use this book in my classroom would be to have the students read this book and then write a poem about their favorite food and how it makes them feel. Another way that I could use this book in my instruction is by having the students pick one poem from the book and have them rewrite it in a different poetic form after a lesson on the different forms of poems. I thought that this was a WOW book because it was a really fun book of poems to read! I honestly never really enjoyed reading poetry, and I think a lot of kids don't, but the poems in this book are funny and take a kid's perspective of what eating different foods is like. This book will help students realize they can relate to poetry and it's not just old, stuffy stories.
