Balloons!by Judith Thurman A balloonis a wild space animal, restless petwho bumps and buttsits headon the cage walls of a room –
burstswith a bellow,
or escapes slowlywith sighsleaving a limp skin. Balloons on the streetfidgetin fresh air,strainat their string leashes. If you loosea balloon,it bolts homefor the moon.

Read To MeBy Jane Yolen Read to me riddles and read to me rhymes, Read to me stories of magical times. Read to me tales about castles and kings. Read to me stories of fabulous things. Read to me pirates and read to me knights, Read to me dragons and dragon-book fights. Read to me spaceships and cowboys and then, When you are finished -- please read them again.

What I Found in My Desk by Bruce Lansky A ripe peach with a ugly bruise,a pair of stinky tennis shoes,a day-old ham-and-cheese on rye,a swimsuit that I left to dry,a pencil that glows in the dark,some bubble gum found in the park,a paper bag with cookie crumbs,an old kazoo that barely hums,a spelling test I almost failed,a letter that I should have mailed,and one more thing, I must confess,a note from teacher: Clean This Mess!!!!
