Children's Book Suggestions | Novels in Verse

April is Poetry Month, which is a great month to promote novels in verse! With short lines of text and lots of white space, these books are a great choice for all readers, including striving readers and kids with dyslexia.

For even more poetry, browse the online catalog for more novels in verse or check out the 811 section in Children's Nonfiction.
