Please Bury Me in the Library

Lewis, J. Patrick. Please Bury Me in the Library. Pictures by Kyle M. Stone. Harcourt, 2005. ISBN 0152163875. $16.00. Ages 4-8.

Please Bury Me in the Library is full of rhyming and free verse. This book is full of poems. I like the pictures in the book because they tell a lot about the poem such as “Three Haiku.” It looks so real because there’s a shadow that looks spooky! I didn’t like the free verse in the book because it didn’t sound right. I will recommend this book for a 2nd grader because it has some cool made-up words like "absolutastical." It tells a way to make a poem out of words and made-up words.
