Reviews
"This engaging collection of poems explores science and literature to describe some of the world's more colorful creatures. Short, inviting poems geared for elementary students combine clever and engaging phrasing with facts about the creatures described. For instance, "Pink Manta Ray" begins: "In a/ sea of teal,/ a blink of pink!" Text on the opposite side of the spread explains that a pink manta ray was first spotted in 2015 and shares scientists' theories about the creature's unusual coloring. The poem is written in the shape of a manta ray, and a separate block of text notes that "A concrete poem takes the physical shape of the subject, like this manta ray." Other poetic forms, such as haiku, tanka, and quatrain, are used and defined with other poems. An interactive component quiz challenges practicing poets further by asking, mid-book, "Can you match the poems on the pages that follow with the correct poetic form presented in the first part of this book?" Answers are in the back, along with a glossary and a list of sources. Poems are accompanied by bright and engaging illustrations described as "traditional gouache drawing and paintings...enhanced digitally in the artwork of each page." These colorful spreads are a lovely complement to the lively poems. This combination of science and poetry should delight young readers, encourage young writers, and spur interest in young scientists. VERDICT A STEAM-themed poetry collection that should have broad appeal for young readers and will be a welcome addition to the shelves. Recommended."--Carole Phillips, School Library Journal

It was advertised in "good condition" it was in "perfect condition". The DVD's look new and so does the case. The price was awesome and the shipping extremely fast. This seller is one of the best! Thank you to Goodwill in Akron. Also fast communication with any questions I had.

The Disc Was Even in Better Condition than The Seller Said. Rated Very Good But Looked Almost New. Even Packaged in Plastic Even Though it Was a Used item. I Will Look For This Seller Again For Future Buying Purposes. I Don't Have Anything Bad To Say, They Answered All My Questions in a Timely Fashion.
