Poetry, Please!

Please Mrs Butler, by Alan Ahlberg, is one of my favourite poetry books. All the poems are about daily life at school, something which we can all relate to!  It was written quite a few years ago and although I have read it many times, I still enjoy it. 

I love the poems in this book, especially some of the funny ones which are absolutely hilarious! Some of the poems rhyme, but some of them don't and are still very enjoyable. 


Do you know any poetry books, Year 3? What are they like?  


Do you have any favourite poems?
