Little Dog Poems by Kristine O’Connell George and illustrated by June Otani

Little Dog Poems is a great book for younger students, grades K-3, to start getting a grasp on what poetry is. It gives them a look at free verse poetry, which is a type of poetry that tends to be overlooked. I think that this book will be a useful tool both in the classroom and at home, as a bedtime story.

As I read Little Dog Poems, the think that stood out to me the most, aside from the easy to read poetry, was the amazing illustrations. The poems alone are good, but paired with the beautiful watercolor paintings children will not be able to put the book down.
