Publisher's Synopsis
Ally with alliteration, laugh harder than a million hyenas at hyperbole, and compose poetry that pops with onomatopoeia. This textbook and activity book presents poetry by Christina Rossetti, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Alfred Lord Tennyson, William Wordsworth, Robert Frost, and Emily Dickinson to explore nine literary devices: 1) Rhyming, 2) Alliteration, 3) Simile, 4) Metaphor, 5) Personification, 6) Foreshadowing, 7) Allusion, 8) Hyperbole, and 9) Onomatopoeia. Targeting elementary school-aged children grades four and up, this book offers thirty-six lessons interweaving poetry, copywork, narration, dictation, writing, and artwork.
