There is nothing inappropriate, but this book is not meant to be read independently. If one wished to introduce their child to this style of poetry and was unable to read it with them, or find them a partner it would be far better to have them listen to the audio version, than attempt to read it alone unless the reader has had an extensive background in poetry and possibly music too. It is also important to note it is not ideal for an adult alone to read it aloud to a child, so it would be best if the child is of an age that they can read one portion of the poem. There is an audio book in which both books are performed.

It takes very little time to listen to, but will make it easier to read these together with your students if you have heard correctly preformed prior to attempting it on your own. It works well to sign the audio book out of the library to listen to in advance. Ideally each reader could independently familiarize themselves with the new poem early in the week and read it aloud together several times later in the week until it can be said fluently.

If you had two students each could take one part of the poem.

Jun 24, Diana Pettis rated it really liked it. I read this with Xavier tonight and he told me it was hard to follow because the author has two voices reading each poem. It was hard to keep his focus on what the message of the poems were. Then I went online to get the guided reading level which their is not one. All it said that the grade level equivalent was 5. I think to read this with groups of kids they would need lots of exposure to poetry.

Aug 11, Lisa Rathbun added it. I liked this better than "Joyful Noise" because I like birds better than bugs! I remember reading this together with my sister years ago; sometimes the lines are in unison, sometimes they alternate, sometimes they conflict, but all together each poem captures the feel of the different birds.

Apr 23, Harrison rated it it was amazing Shelves: May 29, Nielson rated it really liked it Shelves: These poems are meant to be read together with a child side by side so sometimes you will both be reading the same or different words at the same time. I think this gives a more of a flighty, birdy feel which is neat.

However, it has the potential to be confusing. Nov 16, Andrew rated it really liked it.

This book, by Paul Fleishman was about very different poems based on nature. Jul 12, Angela rated it liked it. Poetry is not really my thing, but I listened to these instead of reading them, which was much better with synchronized poetry reading. May 14, Rachel Remer rated it really liked it. Same as the other two voices book except I liked this book even better. A couple of the poems really stood out to me as stellar.

    Jean Grey (Dark Phoenix) - All Scenes Powers - Marvel Anime: X-Men

    The son of well-known children's novelist Sid Fleischman, Paul was in the unique position of having his famous father's books read out loud to him by the author as they were being written. This experience continued throughout his childhood. Jean Grey is an incredibly powerful woman with a huge familiarity to those who have never even read comic books. What makes her tick and what does she want to be?

    Bringing in the Phoenix Force as a presence is not something that should be off the table entirely. With the Phoenix Force hovering again, it could force Jean Grey to be once again defined by this instead of whatever she wants to be defined by. What does this mean for the rest of the X-Men universe? There are a few characters who will be concerned about this coming back into the fold. Rachel, Hope and Quentin are all teased for the future of this series as each one has had to deal with the Phoenix Force at different points in their history.
