内容简介

Troy Thompson's Excellent Peotry (sic) Book follows Troy Thompson, a Year 6 Student in Ms. Kranke's English class in Dagaburra, Australia. Read his assignments, his work, his teacher's comments, and step into the head of a twelve-year-old Australian boy as he has his first experience with poetry. It's a rocky but endlessly interesting journey, as Troy struggles with haiku, ballads, limericks, sonnets, and more. Moving, silly (and sometimes just a little gross), Troy Thompson's Excellent Peotry Book is more than an introduction to poetry for children. It can be read as a narrative, or used as an easy-to-follow classroom guide for teachers. Divided into assignments and peppered with Troy's own doodles and margin comments, poetry (or peotry) has never been so much fun. Whether he's dedicating a ballad to his girlfriend Kylie or revealing the heroic and moving death of his policeman father, Ms. Kranke obviously has a great deal of affection for both Troy and his poems - something readers will understand perfectly.
