Limerick Comics is a unique blend of poetry and nonfiction. The 32-page collection offers a lighthearted original limerick on a diverse range of history and science topics, accompanied by intriguing facts, presented in entertaining comics. Each page contains a five-panel fully illustrated mini-comic, and a sixth panel with engaging, fun facts and information about that topic. This material can spark discourse between parent and child, or teacher and students. With the subject matter changing from page to page, and the use of an entertaining limerick to elicit interest in nonfiction topics, Limerick Comics may appeal to reluctant readers. The integration of poetry and nonfiction provides educators with endless cross-curricular applications along with a valuable resource for the development of fluency and prosody. Kids of all ages are invited to linger on each page to enjoy the humor of hyperbolic imagery, ponder inferences, and view the evocative details of each eye-catching illustrated panel. Add this playful book to your home, classroom, school, or public library collection, and nurture an appreciation of poetry, science, history, civics, and art.
