Cleary, Brian P. If It Rains Pancakes: Haiku and Lantern
Poems. PICTURE BOOK. Lerner Publishing Group, 2014. $6.95. 9781467716093
What is a Haiku?
What is a Lantern Poem? Readers are given the definition of each of these poems
and then given multiple examples in this great book. “Watch Out: My pet pig, Betty, in her full
karate stance, performs the “pork chop.” (Haiku). “Bed: pillows are twin clouds. Stretch, read,
doze, sleep. Peace.” (Lantern Poem). In addition to fun poetry children will
enjoy, the illustrations are detailed and inviting. This would be a great addition to a poetry
unit.
