PoetryTagTime is a children's anthology featuring rhyming poems, free verse poetry, inspirational poems, funny poems, narrative poems, lyrical poems, acrostic poems, personification poems, love poems, nature poems, and poems about life by 30 famous poets:

Jack Prelutsky
Mary Ann Hoberman
J. Patrick Lewis
X.J. Kennedy
Lee Bennett Hopkins
Nikki Grimes
Joyce Sidman

Plus other award-winning children’s authors and popular poets:
Jane Yolen
Douglas Florian
X.J. Kennedy
Bobbi Katz
Paul B. Janeczko
Betsy Franco
Pat Mora
Helen Frost
Carole Boston Weatherford
Calef Brown
David L. Harrison
Alice Schertle
April Halprin Wayland
Leslie Bulion
Avis Harley
Joan Bransfield Graham
Julie Larios
Ann Whitford Paul
Laura Purdie Salas
Robert Weinstock
Amy Ludwig VanDerwater
Tracie Vaughn Zimmer
and Janet Wong

PoetryTagTime is a chain of poets and poems that makes language part of a playful game. When a poet is tagged, that poet must write a poem that connects with the previous poem. Part of the fun is the poet’s explanation of the sometimes whimsical “connection” between the two poems.

PoetryTagTime is a great read-aloud for all ages in the classroom or for homeschoolers and also a poetry writing model that teachers and parents can use in the classroom or home. Noted children’s literature professor Sylvia Vardell has designed curriculum activities for each poem, to be used together with the e-book; these are available for free at the PoetryTagTime blog .



PoetryTagTime is Book 1 in the series.

Book 2 in the series is P*TAG, the first-ever poetry anthology e-book for teens.

Book 3 in the series is GIFT TAG, an anthology of holiday poems to celebrate Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, and "Mew Year's Day for Cats"!

Praise for the PoetryTagTime, P*TAG, and Gift Tag series:

“[T]he organizing principle of the book is neat, with each poet "tagging" the next to write a poem which in some way links to his or her own. Fun and cheap: 99¢! The poems are light and lively, and I'm glad to report that the line-breaks remain sacrosanct no matter how you mess with the font size.” --Roger Sutton, Read Roger
                                   
“[A] collection of poetry that simply: YOU. MUST. HAVE. . . . The results are spectacular. Here is an eBook worthy of classroom use with plenty of teen appeal. Plus, it is perfect for reading aloud as well.” --Teri Lesesne, The Goddess of YA Literature

“What a wonderful way for teenagers to encounter poetry; and the interactive nature of the e-book invites readers to explore each poet’s work more deeply.” --Marjorie Coughlan, Paper Tigers

“In the engaging poems of PoetryTagTime children will discover just how amazing and magical words can be.
