The poems by David L. Harrison found in Somebody Catch My Homework are witty, fun, and most importantly, about all of the things children experience in school. From describing how much of a "bummer" Monday can be, to welcoming the new kid, this book is the sum of what it means to a kid to go to school.
Betsy Lewin, illustrator of the exciting poetry book, does a great job of capturing the poems, while still maintaining a child-like, simple style throughout the literature.
This book has many different rhyme schemes, making it a good book to use in an exercise intended to help students identify the rhyme pattern.
