My friend, Betsy Franco (poet extraordinaire and mother of actor James Franco!), has written another great book of poems. This one is called Messing Around on the Monkey Bars and Other School Poems for Two Voices. Here’s a poem to be read in two voices your kids will enjoy, I’m sure!
I Can’t Wait
Today’s the day.
I can’t wait.
At recess time,
I won’t be late.
I’ll meet you by
the mulberry tree.
And then you’ll make the trade with me.
I’ll trade my little green iguana…
for my little sister Donna!
