No Perfect People, Please!

It's been about a month since this awesome poetry treasury came in the mail from its author, Diane Asitimbay.  (Thanks, Diane!) She'd stumbled on the Corner and thought it might fit with the kind of stuff I like, and she was spot on. No Perfect People, Please! is an eclectic collection of poems about some kooky, quirky characters with laughably strange - and VERY real - every day weaknesses   areas for growth flaws  behaviors. 


From Adam Amazola to Zippy Zelda Zimmerman, you'll likely meet your child's best friend and your best friend's child as you travel through the alphabet with every page turn. If you happen to be a teacher, you'll recognize these less-than-perfect prodigies because they're in your class.  Prepare to laugh. out. loud. 'cause you're bound to recognize someone you know, maybe even a younger version of yourself!  This hardcover, which comes with a CD that brings eleven of the poems to life through the author's voice, is sure to spark a passion for poetry in even the littlest of learners.  Do yourself a favor and check out this poetic gem today!

Oh, and it's International Blog Hopping Day and our friends at Teaching Blog Addict have some cool stuff planned, so click on the Yellow Brick Road graphic that Crystal from Kreative In Kinder created to be transported to Linky Land and grab your freebies and fun.
