Shape up and read these beautiful (in many ways) poems! Watch as words wrap around animals or perhaps collide with favorite snacks. You'll find inside a tasty ice cream cone, pet cat, and boxing gloves each made up literally by the words that describe them.

From the publisher: “These poems are beyond shapes—they illustrate a connection that students have with everyday objects, their favorite TV show, that one song they can’t get out of their heads, and a delicious slice of pepperoni pizza. With shape poetry, our students feel free to express their feelings through words and drawings without being confined within traditional norms. In this collection, students make their own rules and write poems the way they see them and become poets on their own terms.”
