Poetry Friday: Construction

Keeping up our trend of trucks and such, here's Construction by Sally Sutton for Poetry Friday.



"Dig the ground. Dig the ground.
Bore down in the mud.
Shove the piles in one by one.

Slip! SLAP!
THUD!"

Brian Lovelock's speckled yet clean illustrations pop the poetry. Look for Construction today! "Ring! ZING! POW!"

Poetry Friday: Demolition

Here's an awesome book for Poetry Friday. Get ready to demolish!

"Swing the ball. Swing the ball.
Thump and smash and whack.
Bring the top floors tumbling down.
Bang! Clang!
Crack!"

Brian Lovelock's spattered ink illustrations set the tone for Sally Sutton's poetry. Super fun, right?
