Title: The New Kid On the Block
Author: Jack Prelutsky
Illustrator: James Stevenson
Genre: Poetry
This book is full of different poems! One of the greatest poems in the book is obviously (because it s the title) The New Kid On the Block. So let me tell you a little about the poem. The poem is about a new kid that has moved into a neighborhood, and is very rough and mean. The new kid likes to beat up on the other kids, specifically the guys.
The new kid on the block is a girl, beating up on all of the guys. The guys are afraid of her because she stomps on toes, pulls hair, twists arms, and steals balls from the other kids!
I think this poem would be a great read aloud to do in from of a class to show what NOT to do at school. Especially if there is a known "bully" in the classroom, it would be good for everybody to hear it and clear the air that certain things such as pulling hair and stomping on toes are not aloud!
