The What's Your Favorite book series by Eric Carle and Friends are fabulous multiple author/illustrator collections that make a perfect vehicle for sharing poetry in addition to the books. You can share poems that line up with the items in the books or survey your audience about their favorite animals, bugs, and food and share poems that line up with the answers. I'm leaving out What's Your Favorite Color? It would pair well with Red Sings from the Treetops: A Year in Colors by Joyce Sidman and I'm sure there are other color poems.
