In 1996, the Academy of American Poets declared April National Poetry Month—a thirty day opportunity each year for Poetry Paraders to celebrate poetry and its important place in our lives. Let’s get the parade started with I Chased a Dragon through the Woods, written by Jack Prelutsky and performed by two poetic puppeteers, Thomas D. and Nick S.
Next up: a happy birthday dragon poem by Shel Silverstein, celebrated by fourth graders Emma and Laura:
There’s more poetry fun to be found on the LMC shelves! Make your way to 811.54 PRE. In It’s Raining Pigs and Noodles, Jack Prelutsky presents a parade of good-for-a-giggle poems: The Dancing Hippopotami, You Can’t Make Me Eat That, My Father’s Name is Sasquatch, and Dear Wumbledeedumble.
