When I hear the word poetry for children's literature, the first thing that pops to mind is Dr. Seuss. Who hasn't heard of Dr. Seuss? I believe the main book he is known for is The Cat in the Hat. But my favorite book would have to be Green Eggs and Ham. The Dr. Seuss series is like the closest thing to poetry I would read. It is fun and funny to read. I've read that it has been translated into 15 languages! He has done a remarkable job in writing all these rhymes for children to read and enjoy.

Laura Numeroff has to be one of the most creative writers I've known. Her books she's written just captures the attention of young readers and has them curious. Her number one book is If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Its a funny book because it starts by liking a mouse and wanting to give him a cookie, but little do you know he begins do be demanding. From feeding a mouse to pleasing the mouse, you end up running around all day until you need a nap. This story is a good book to read for ages 5-7. Not only did Laura write about a mouse but also If You Give a Pig Pancake and If You Give a Moose a Muffin.
