The idea is to use the spines of books to make poetry. I am not terribly confident about having my young students try this out, but it was irresistible to me. If I hadn’t been absolutely swamped this week I imagine I would have spent much time looking for poetry in the stacks. Here are the first two I could muster (with notes in case the photos are hard to view):
A Perfect Day
Today I will Fly
Thump and Plunk
No Fighting, No Biting
Tug of War
Don’t be My Valentine
What a Mess!
This may become an obsession. I find myself checking the spines as students bring books to the check out counter. “Don’t worry about putting that one back. I’ll keep it right here…..”

This just gave me a wonderful idea for a lesson after vacation! Thanks for blogging.
Glad you liked it and that you have some new ideas. It's lots of fun and kind of hard to stop once you start.
That is so cool Lynda! imight try it with novels too.
Thanks for letting me know you liked it. It jogged my memory and made me feel it's about time to give it another go.
