    Thanks so much for hosting, Anastasia!

    I love all the variations on that wonderful old rhyme!

    Thanks for hosting Poetry Friday, Anastasia. I’ve left my information with “Mister Linky” (and why does his “You’re next!” sound like an old Twilight Zone warning??)

    Thanks for hosting the roundup!

    Thank you for hosting, Anastasia. I love all of those song picture books, and my children loved them when they were small too! (Sometimes they still get stuck in my head!)
    Happy PF! A.

    Thanks for hosting, Anastasia! Kids love books that are spoofs or takeoffs on songs they’ve heard before.

    I’m in with two poems from the book Chicken Scratches and also this week’s 15 Words or Less poems.

    That book sounds like fun! I’m in with a Housman poem this week. Thanks for hosting.

    Hi, Anastasia–

    A quickie but a goodie today. Isn’t it fine that poetry can encompass gluttonous monkeys right along with deep metaphysical musings?

    I don’t have a book or poem today; instead I posted about a wonderful German tradition that marks the beginning of school for young children.

    Thanks for hosting, Anastasia!

    Thanks so much for hosting today, Anastasia. I added a link to April Halprin Wayland’s post on our TeachingAuthors blog. She shares three different versions of a poem about a special moment in her life, and instructions for how teachers might use this as an activity in the classroom.
    Happy Poetry Friday!

    I cheated a little by posting on Thursday instead of today (because I’m traveling and had more time yesterday). I hope no one minds. I’m just glad I could participate. Thanks for hosting!

    Thank you for hosting. I re-ran an old fave of mine, a very literary original poem by a guest columnist.
