Once Around the Sun
Katz, B., & Pham, L. (2006). Once around the sun. Orlando: Harcourt.
This is a collection of poems that celebrates the seasons with one poem for every month of the year. The poems all encapsulate the feelings, sights, sounds, and smells of each month. It is artfully written with figurative language.
The book is Beautifully illustrated by LeUyen Pham. For this reason and the inferred meanings in the figurative language I would say this book can be used in all grades. It would be a fun read aloud in younger grades and a good example for poetry in older grades.
