Summary: This poetry book is a bunch of different poems put into one book. There really isn't a theme to them and they aren't in any specific order. There are poems about different shapes, instruments, balloons and many, many more.
Extension Activity: For this extension activity, the students will pick a poem from this specific book and they will illustrate it. They have to use their imagination because they won't be allowed to just draw balloons for the balloon poem. They will be given very little material to accomplish this task.
