Stardines

    Written by Jack Prelutsky; illustrated by Carin Berger

    Nope, the title of the book is not Sardines. It’s Stardines. What’s a stardine? It’s a fish that swims in the sky.

    STARDINES swim high across the sky,

    And brightly shine as they glide by.

    In giant schools, theor brilliant lights

    Illuminate the darkest nights.

    When other creatures are in bed,

    STARDINES still twinkle overhead.

    In silence, these nocturnal fish

    Are set to grat the slightest wish.

    This fantastic book of poetry is a clever play on words and ideas. What a fun lesson it would be for students to make up their own words and describe in a poem.
