Twenty-six poets from Jane Yolen and Heidi Stemple to Charles Waters and Marilyn Singer cheer, wail and salute the classroom in this silly tribute to school. Calculators and erasers, school buses and pop quizzes, recess and a school vacation countdown -- nothing about the school day (or school year) is out of bounds in this poetry collection from today's best children's poets. Backmatter includes explanations of poetry techniques used in the book with specific examples and additional poetry prompts and ideas. The Poets: Micha Archer, Cate Berry, Cynthia Cotton, Audrey Day-Williams, Rebecca Kai Dotlich, Matt Forrest Esenwine, David Griswold, Alexandra S. D. Hinrichs, Jarret Keene, Alethea Kontis, Jane Kurtz, Irene Latham, Lynn Marie, Linda Elovitz Marshall, Eileen Meyer, Diane Ochiltree, Casey Robinson, Michelle Schaub, Marilyn Singer, Ruth Spiro, Heidi E.Y. Stemple, C. M Surrisi, Ryan G. Van Cleave, Charles Waters, Kay Winters, Jane Yolen.
