This weekend the kids and I decided to try to write a spine poem using the books in our home library. We chose books from our shelves that we could use in a bunny themed poem. Building a spine poem is harder than it looks. Thankfully, we have a pretty large home library filled with plenty of children's books. I think Peter Rabbit would approve of our poem.

Writing spine poetry is such a fun, brain-stretching activity. Try it sometime!

What a clever idea!
I used to teach English in middle school, and I have never heard of this. I love it! Your poem is great. Such a neat idea.
What a fun idea! I agree ... your poem is great :) I'll have to share this idea with my two girls!
Love it! Doing it!
This is a cute idea. I wonder if my Little J would enjoy this. We'll have to try!
I've never heard of this exercise, but I like how your poem turned out. Very creative.
Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Yes, I would recommend Pippi for a read aloud. The chapters are fairly short and easy to read and Pippi's adventures are funny.

Cute! After teaching English lo, these many years, I have never heard of this! I shall try it with my girls sometime! :-0
What a cool idea! Even pre readers can participate!
I love your blog and am now your newest follower! I'm so excited to read more. I wrote "The Daddy Mountain" review, which is how I found you. Just wanted to let you know your safe in terms of a mommy mountain. Mommy "freaks out" at the end of the book :)

I had never encountered this idea either, but I love it! I'm looking across the room at my picture book shelf, wondering what sort of a poem I could come up with! Thanks for this!
I love that one!!! And I also love reading 100 scope notes. One of my fav blogs!
