It’s Raining Pigs and Noodles audiobook

It’s Raining Pigs and Noodles by author Jack Prelutsky is a collection of poems, some written in prose but most in verse. These witty masterpieces make for a hilarious and engaging read. Despite untraditional formatting for some, the poems were edited very well as to not get cut off in the gutter. Many of these poems have a narrative quality to them, making them familiar and accessible to young readers just getting into poetry. This book was genuinely fun to read, despite having to watch out for noodles from the sky!

Yet another amazing verse collection by author Jack Prelutsky. A great book for young readers getting started in poetry, as the rhyming from stanza to stanza makes the words flow and easy to understand. Illustrator James Stevenson does a wonderful job creating illustrations to accompany the poems. These humorous poems are great for readers of all ages. I highly recommend this collection and anything by Jack Prelutsky!

This book is filled with children's poems that are meant for the fourth grade level. As an adult, I enjoyed this book! I thought the poems were cute, funny and engaging. I think it will be a great addition to teacher classrooms.

I really enjoy Jack Prelutsky's poetry. I haven't managed to get my kids to sit still to listen to much of it, but I'm getting poems into their heads here and there. I don't have anything new to say about this one that I did not say about the previous one I read, but if you haven't read JP (and especially if you have kids of any age) then you definitely should.

This is a fun collection of poems. The audiobook is accompanied with a band and sung. It is a great, fun listen.

Two of my favorite poems are in this book. I Ate a Tooth this Morning, and I'm Stuck Inside a Seashell. Summary: I Ate a Tooth this Morning is about a girl who sat down for breakfast and her tooth fell out. It pooped into her cereal by accident and she ate it. She is sad to say that she will never see her tooth again. Review: I love the poem I Ate a Tooth this Morning because as a kid I was always nervous that I might also loose a tooth inside of something I was eating. I think this poem is very relatable for children. I also think that the little illustration at the bottom matches very well, as you can see the nervousness in the girls face. I might pair this poem with any other poems in this collection of poems, as all of these poems have humor and rhythm. Juicy Quote: "I'm sorry that is happened, and I'm sorrier to say that I will never see again that tooth I ate today." This quote is a good quote as you can hear the rhythm and pacing with this line of the poem, so it can be used to teach those thing about poetry to young students. Summary: I'm Stuck Inside a Seashell is about someone who got stuck inside of a seashell. The person went into the seashell and just kept going further in until they got lost. The person is nervous that he or she will never get out and there is no where left to go. Review: I love the poem I'm Stuck Inside a Seashell mostly because it is a concrete poem. The poem is shaped like the spiral of a seashell. I love this poem also because I love the beach and I have often wondered what it must be like for the animals that live inside seashells. I would pair this poem with other concrete poems to help teach students about creating that type of poem. In a Twist is another example of a concrete poem. Juicy Quote: "I am winding winding winding through this narrow spiral shape, and I'm sorry that I entered, for it seems there's no escape." This is a good quote from the poem because it matches the concrete picture of the poem. The students can visualize what it must be like for the person stuck inside the shell.

Original 3-line summary: This book is filled with lots of silly, fun poems, beginning with one named after the title, 'It's Raining Pigs and Noodles'. Some are short while others are lengthy, and a few are actually in an unconventional format. For example, one is in the shape of a star, and another in the shape of an infinity sign. 4. Original 3-line review: Every one of these poems has a comical twist and are so whimsical. They are fun to read and do not have to be read in any specific order. Scrolling through these pages is just so entertaining. And the rhyme is extremely catchy, almost like they can be songs. 5. 2-3 possible in-class uses: After reading some of these poems as a class, the students can go off on their own, and try to write their own. It can be as silly as they want, but should contain a steady rhyme. They can also create illustrations to go with the poems by using some creativity. Either of these would be fun for early elementary students.

This book is full of small poems that are all hilarious. Some of the poems have very complicated words that would be harder for the younger ages to understand, while other poems have very simple words for the younger ages. The poems in this book leave a lot of room for imagination and creativity. “I am Winding Through a Maze” was one of my favorites being that it was in the shape of a maze and made reading the poem entertaining.No matter what subject I teach, this is a book I would bring out to read to my students after a tough day of testing or to bring the students back into the lesson after recess. With many of the poems in this book, conversations can be had with the class for text to self, world, or even other texts. Along with that, the students would also be able to critically think with a partner as to what the pome truly means. After reading these poems, students will have a better understanding of how poems are to be written, allowing them to create their own.

1. This book has won three awards. The Parents' Choice Gold Award, the IRA/CBC Teachers' Choice, and the IRA/CBC Children's Choice. 2. I would recommend this book for preschool through first grade.3. In this silly poetry book, it is raining; however, it isn't just ordinary rain. Pigs, noodle, chrysanthemums, and noodles are pouring from the sky. Isn't that more fun than ordinary rain?4. I like this poetry book because the rhymes are a lot of fun. Like in the book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, I think students would enjoy the creativity of this author and imagining different objects, animals, and food falling from the sky. This poetry book invites readers to use their imagination. 5. Like Jack Prelutsky, I would try to do something creative with this poetry book. One thing I might do in class is have students add to the poem. What animals, foods, and objects would they add on to the poem? Another activity I would do is have the students draw their favorite line from the poem. Also, I could relate this poem back to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs by Judi Barrett. I could have older students use a venn diagram and compare and contrast the two books.
