Cover of Daniel Finds a PoemDaniel Finds a PoemMicha ArcherWhen Daniel notices a sign announcing “Poetry in the Park,” he asks what poetry means. In the days before the event, he puts the question to different animals in the park. Their answers connect poetry with experiences such as glistening dew, crunchy leaves, and a cool place to dive. By the time the gathering arrives, Daniel draws on what he has heard to create his own poem. The story links poetry to sensory observation, language, and feeling, including Daniel’s view of a sunset reflected in a pond.Five to NineLexile Text Measure AD560LATOS Book Level 2.8On the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
Cover of The White Cat and the Monk: A Retelling of the Poem “Pangur Bán”The White Cat and the Monk: A Retelling of the Poem “Pangur Bán”Jo Ellen BogartA monk spends his evenings studying books and looking for truth in their pages, while his cat Pangur hunts in the dark. This retelling draws on a ninth-century Gaelic poem in which the monk connects his own pursuit of knowledge with the cat’s search for mice. As night gives way to morning, Pangur helps lead the monk toward the truth he has sought. Watercolor-and-ink artwork evokes the historical setting, with some wordless sequential spreads and an illuminated manuscript rendered in bright color.Five to NineOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
