The Letterbox Cat and other poems by Paula Green illustrated by Myles Lawford

This book is a collection of 44 poems including some terrific shape poems which would be perfect to share with a group of younger students. Paula Green comes from New Zealand. 

I picked this book up at a recent charity book sale for just $2. Sadly this book from 2014 is now out of print but I am sure you will find it many school library poetry collections.

The Letterbox Cat

Our cat climbs

on top of the letterbox

as if she's waiting

for a letter from

London

or Luxenbourg

or Levin,

or Sydney

or Samoa

or Berlin,

but all we get is paper

for our recycling bin.

The Rainbow

On a blue day

a rainbow

wraps the sky 

with bright ribbons
