Summary:
In this book its about a little boy who tries to write poems but doesn't think that he can. As time goes on through the book his writing develops and the teacher likes to share his poems with the class. He eventually grows more confident with his writing and starts to understand poems more and how to write his own poem.

Who might benefit from this book?
I think that anyone could. It probably might need to be explained to some children because the only person talking is the little boy. The little boy responds to peoples questions in the book but it doesn't show other people talking but the boy.

What problems might this book cause?
None.

My reaction:
I thought it was a cute, simple book that anyone could read and understand most of it aside from what I said about how the boy is the only one talking.
