review 1: Another great poetry book by Douglas Florian! Kindergarten and 1st grade students will especially love this pirate poetry book. There are nineteen funny poems in this book that will have children laughing along as they read. I chose this book for younger elementary students because this book doesn't contain a lot of advanced words. It provides poems that rhyme and tell about pirates. The poems all sound like a pirate is speaking, too. It tells where pirates live, what they wear, how the talk, and what they do. Lastly, each poem has a very, detailed illustration that is vibrant and adorable! I would use this poetry book as part of my classroom library. It would also make a great core book for students to read along to.
review 2: Florian, D. (2012). Shiver me t... moreimbers: Pirate poems and paintings. New York, NY: Beach Lane Books.Poetry: Shiver Me Timbers (2012) by Douglas Florian, an energetic and lively book of poetry looking at the lives of pirates, captivated my children and gave them an appreciation for poetry. While no two poems are alike, Florian delves into the language, habits, and heroes of the pirate world (one poem depicts Blackbeard writing a letter to his mom). Robert Neubecker’s illustrations cause children and adults to laugh out loud. I enjoyed reading this in my best pirate voice; which could use a lot more practice.I could not find leveling information for this book—but I would recommend reading it to pre-k-4th grade. To read alone it may be 2nd-5th less
