And, I also provided you with 2 poems for each book. These poems will help to give you more information about the story. The pictures that I have posted on each of the slides give you more clues about the story as well. So, now that you know what this Newbery Poetry Anthology is all about, I encourage you to read through the summaries and poems of each of the books and choose your next adventure. Once you do, jump right in and read away! Don’t hesitate to ask me any questions you may have! Enjoy!

Charlotte Zolotow Friends I fear it’s very wrong of me, And yet I must admit, When someone offers friendship I want the whole of it. I don’t want everybody else To share my friends with me. At least, I want one special one, Who, indisputably Likes me much more than all the rest, Who’s always on my side, Who never cares what others say, Who lets me come and hide Within his shadow, in his house- It doesn’t matter where- Who lets me simply be myself, Elizabeth Who’s always, always there. Jennings
