A Pocketful of Poems is a childrens picture book full of poems written by Nikki Grimes. There are many different kinds of poems in this book. Also, each poem is about a different, sometimes random topic. Each word or topic title has a free verse poem and haiku poem to accompany it. Each subject is something we can all relate to, like just a household object.
The poetry is good in this book, however, it is the illustrations that made me want to turn the page. The illustrations are absolutely AMAZING. Javaka Steptoe has a different way of looking at things. It seems like all of the pictures are just many different shapes put together. The colors are very bold. I would recommend showing the pictures if not the poems.
