Poem Book Review
Poem: Somethings
Missing by: Shel Silverstein
Annotation: This
poem is a light hearted poem that may appeal to children of all ages. It is a
poem that talks about a man who is getting dressed to go to a dance. Line by
line, it goes through the clothing items that he IS wearing, while at the end,
asking what he has forgotten. The illustration gives context and a visual
appeal.
Illustrator
Information: Shel Silverstein is his own illustrator.
Opinion: The
rhyming words and word flow allows the reader to easily get through the poem.
It is light hearted and comical for all ages. I really enjoy this poem for its
ability to engage children in language and reading, while appealing to their
sense of humor. This is a poem that everyone who is in school can relate to, as
everyone gets dressed in the morning. One of the things I like most is the
diverse appeal that this poem holds. It can be used with 2 year olds just as it
can be used and read by adults.
