Description
Luke and Leo with some help from Lizzie and her sister have fun writing Limericks. This series can get young writers writing their own poems!

Each book in the series covers a different type of poem. From limericks to acrostics, you can follow the story that shows the steps needed to create your new poem. Activities in the back of the book provide additional information and writing practice.

John L, Reviewer
In a very child-friendly narrative, four kids gather in a park and make up limerick poems about each other. By the end of the simple story the reader will have had all the basics they need, and met with easy instruction to do the same. It's a great primer for the young poet, with technical terms in bold ready for the end glossary, and the rhyming scheme when first seen is in different colours. No, it's not the most realistic story, with memorised verses brought out willy-nilly, and many mentally composed at the drop of a hat, but stuff those criticisms – this is fine.
