The Llama Who Had No Pajama

This book of poetry is part of our Core A Curriculum with Sonlight.

I'm not the person to really critique a book of poetry as the poetry world is not my jam, however I'm going to give it a go all the same. 

On the whole the book had good poetry that helped introduce concepts, solidify what they had learned in other places and stirred the imagination. This book has all types of poetry, most of which I don't know the classifications for. There were several haikus and a couple of shape poems. Most were nice and fairly easy to read, which is a bonus, but some, in true poetic fashion, were just annoying and challenging to read out loud. 

My children really enjoyed these and always enjoyed evaluating the poems for their style and content. They also enjoyed the illustrations that went with the poems and evaluating them. Even though I found them frustrating, they were an excellent learning tool. 

I'd give this book of poetry 4 stars.
