We Go Together: A Curious Selection of Affectionate Verse

Brown, Calef, We Go Together: A Curious Selection of Affectionate Verse. Houghton Mifflin Books for Children, 2013.

This book has a bunch of affectionate, silly poems about friends and family. The author is child-focused in his nature of speech and uses some challenging morphemic knowledge.  The illustrations are goofy and colorful. The descriptions are unusual and interesting to look at!  I loved how easily this book would integrate into a Language Arts lesson, specifically on poetry.  There is a rich variety of figurative language and vocabulary.  I recommend it for poetry units in the upper elementary grades.
