Elephant Games and Other Playful Poems to Perform
Elephant Games and Other Playful Poems to Perform
Welcome to the imaginative world of Brod Bagert where astronauts pack yo-yos in their space suits and elephants play games inside your ear. Some of the poems in this book are like little mirrors. When you read them, you may see yourself. Maybe you’re the superstitious baseball player or the kid who is always in trouble. Maybe you’re having a rough time in school or tired of people telling you “no.” Whoever you are, you’ll find poems that will make you laugh and think.
“Bagert is right in there with the other great poets who will keep poetry alive in the minds and hearts of children.”
