Parts of a Book

Sometimes, Calliope is just around the corner. Here is a poem I wrote for my grade 2 class this coming week. I will be using the poem for our lesson on the basic parts of a book.

I am a book

I am a book
And I have many parts
A cover to keep me clean
A spine so I can stand

I have a body
With several good pages
Of facts and stories
You can read from start to finish

Open me now
And you will know
The author who wrote
The illustrator who drew

Don’t forget the title
That’s what I ‘m all about
Who put me all together?
Oh, it is the publisher
