Title: Dirt on My ShirtAuthor: Jess Foxworthy
Lauren's Rating: 4 out of 5
Dirt on My Shirt is a poem about a boy who enjoys going outside. He gets dirt, leaves and mud all over himself. However, he still loves to feel the sun on his skin and breathe in the fresh air!
Within the book, there contains several short poems. Although this poem was very short, it got to the point! The illustrations were sketches that were very colorful. I love the way he filled the page with color! The text was centered in clear, large font. This makes it easier to read the poem. Poetry can sometimes be tricky for children to grasp. I felt as if the author did a great job incorporating the poetry into the book, without losing the other great qualities of children's books! I would definitely recommend this book to children and parents!
