Summary: |
This brief and beautifully illustrated poem celebrates a young child's summer in Knoxville, TN. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Learners could compare the poem with illustrations to the poem without illustrations and reflect on the impact of the illustrations. The very simple text supported by illustrations makes this book an excellent choice for low-level readers. Choral reading or paired reading would work quite well. Students might write or tell "summer stories" from their own childhoods. |
