    Have you ever asked these questions about poetry? The 30 Painless Classroom Poems series makes it easy for you, the elementary school teacher, media specialist, or reading specialist, to share poetry with your students. Whether you already love poetry or you fear or even actively dislike it, these books are for you. The poems, Notes from the Poet, extension activities written by experienced classroom teachers, and tips for using poetry in your classroom will have you sharing poems in no time.

    In Fairy Tale Garage Sale, award-winning poet Laura Purdie Salas (author of BookSpeak!, Water Can Be..., and more) shares 30 poems from the citizens of Fairy Tale Land, who are having a neighborhood garage sale. Finally, they can get rid of clutter from their earlier adventures! These 30 poems focus on seven fairy tales: Cinderella; Goldilocks and the Three Bears; Snow White and the Seven Dwarves; Rapunzel; Jack and the Beanstalk; The Emperor's New Clothes; and Thumbelina. For each fairy tale, an introductory poem summarizes the key events of the tale for those students not familiar with it. Then three poems from three characters' points-of-view offer up items for sale. What does the Evil Queen need with a mirror that tells the truth, after all? And why doesn't Rapunzel need barrettes anymore? These humorous poems offer behind-the-scenes looks and sometimes different opinions about why things happened as they did. Great for comparing versions of the same event when paired with prose or multimedia versions of the fairy tales. Mostly rhyming poems, but some other forms, too (cinquain, diamante, acrostic...) Extension activities by Colby Sharp share ideas for springboarding from these poems into deeper learning across many content areas.

    Sample:

    From Rapunzel: Item for sale: Castle For sale by: The Witch

    Charming Tower - Perfect for One

    One room
    One window
    Not one single door

    No rugs
    No curtains
    No tacky décor

    I'm old
    Can't climb up
    These walls made of stone

    So make me
    An offer
    And make this your home!

    Note from the Poet:

    Repetition (and I know I've already talked about this in another Note, so I'm repeating myself a little bit!) is really key to lots of poetry. I repeat two words in this poem: "one" and "no." The idea for this horrible castle where Rapunzel was kept prisoner is that it's lonely. It's lacking in anything that would show comfort or luxury. I'm hoping that repeating those words helps get that idea across.
