Stampede! Poems to Celebrate the Wild Side of School

The kids may have been a little wild as schools finished the 2008-09 school year. This is a perfect book to share during those wild times.
Where will you find creatures that stampede like elephants, swarm like bees, and swing like monkeys? At school, of course! This book contains eighteen funny and creative poems that observe students in their natural habitat, and reveal some of their unusual behavior. Let's face it, school can bring out the animal in anyone! Written by Larua Purdie Salas, illustrated by Steven Salerno, here is a funny collection to share with elementary age kids.
