Short poems written in a variety of poetic styles on the make-up and creation of the Earth's geology. Endnotes explain the non-fiction, geological event of each poem and vocabulary that may be unknown. Recommend for classes studying geology or the environment as a supporting text. This is a creative collection of poems that contains many scientific terms. It includes meteors, continental plates, quartz, and more. It would be neat to include poems in other subjects. For instance, one of these poems could be used to introduce a new topic in science class. I never thought of poetry being used with other subjects but it sounds fun. I like that the author includes endnotes that tell a bit about the topic of each poem. From the quartz poem, the endnote mentions that quartz is the most common mineral on earth. The author is obsessed with geology. That is very cool! This book is filled with books about our lovely planet Earth, the continents inside it and the things in space that orbit Earth. My favorite poem in the book is called “Don’t Eat It,” it goes like this, “The earth; a spinning roll in the cosmic bakery lumpy and crumbly crust warm, green filling with tin-hard jawbreaker center.” The poem made it sound like you could actually eat earth because of how clever and similar the description is with sugary edibles. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
